Sculpting is one of my top subjects! I was a sculpture minor at the College of Santa Fe. I won the Sculpture Department award in the 2009 CSF juried art show, and won 2nd place in the 2010 CSf juried art show.

I've been involved in arts and writing from a very young age. In college I followed these interests and graduated with a BA in Creative Writing while also minoring in Sculpture. In the past I've worked with Elementary School aged children in a after school and summer day camp setting and helped them with everything from essays to art projects, I taught High School students art in a "Teen College" program hosted by my college.

Sculpting is one of my top subjects! Capable of teaching all sculptural disciplines, but most highly specialized in mold-making and casting practices. Especially as related to Polymer, Metal, and Glass casting.

Devon is able to focus his tutoring on a particular craft if it is what his clients desire. For example, teaching the intricacies of sand-molding for bronze casting. For most hobbyists, and passive artists this would be the recommended path. However as he was educated, he prefers to leave the doors of possibility open. Art today is extremely interdisciplinary, and it often requires one to design their intended product, and then research materials and processes in order to execute it. If clients want to pursue a career as an artist, this approach is recommended.
Devon was trained at the Art Institute of Chicago in a variety of fine arts. Sculpture is his primary focus, but he also has experience in painting/drawing, design, film/video, performance, and art-tech. Since receiving his BFA in 2011, Devon has been employed consistently for his sculptural knowledge. Working for Chi ... read more

I am an energetic and dedicated teacher who strives to encourage students to go beyond their very best by creating a positive and respectful learning environment. I establish high expectations for all of my students and create lessons that meet their individual learning needs. I have six years teaching experience in the inner-city of Chicago and hope to use the skills and knowledge I have gained from my teaching experiences in a suburban school district. I am a born teacher and take pride in my ability to motivate students and transform lackluster lessons into attention-grabbing lessons that will encourage students to become life-long learners.
I believe that the role of a teacher is to capture the curiosity of students by providing them with lessons and activities that require them to think outside of the box. Such activities should be hands-on and encourage the students to use th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The advantage of one-on-one tutoring is the productive, personal relationship that arises between tutor and student. As a tutor, I use this relationship to make lessons more fun and more significant. Rather than providing a mundane and meaningless list of facts, I explain the significance of the material by linking specific principles to larger themes. Towards these ends, I adjust my tutoring style to meet each student's academic and personal needs. I listen to my students, encouraging them to ask questions about the material I present. My background in mathematics enables me to provide difficult challenges for even the most able student, but I am also patient and thorough enough to get a struggling student back on track.
While pursuing my honors degree in mathematics at the University of Chicago, I supported myself through numerous tutoring jobs. I have taught mathematics to stude ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have taught university-level art history courses for the last 7 years. These courses include training in writing, presentation, and speaking in addition to their emphasis on the history of culture. As an assistant professor, my role also includes my own research so I have extensive experience writing research papers and articles. I am very adept at grammar and spelling. Because of my educational background, my strongest subjects are history and english. Furthermore, I am constantly learning through reading and traveling.
I have mostly taught university-level students but I have occasionally worked with high school students. I would like the opportunity to work with all age groups. In my opinion, students learn in many different ways so it is useful to approach difficult concepts in practical ways. I like to use visual media when teaching (films, excerpts from relevant pro ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In my teaching I employ communicative tools to facilitate both individual and group instruction. I am often energized when I work with students and feel responsible to transfer something they will apply in their daily lives. As a painting instructor I rely on good communication, clear direction and enjoy talking with students about what they see in their work how to clafify their objectives.
In my teaching I stress fundamental design principles, technique and color theory. I am also invested in exposing students to art history which I believe enriches,informs and helps to shape a students own individual style. I have instructed adult classes in oil painting that focus on the figure, landscape and portraiture. Currently I implement arts integrated programs for K-8 in the Chicago Public Schools as a contractor.
