I like what you’ve said about grading. I used to love art at school and I was put off because I wouldn’t get the grades I wanted. I should have just ignored all of that and carried on.

Yup grading just discourages people, its counterproductive in my opinion. Its a shame you were put off doing something you loved.

Thank you for such a kind comment! Have a nice day!

Fascinating and insightful!

You honestly sound like a good art teacher. I really have underestimated how stressful being can be (probably not as stressful as teaching math). Becoming an art teacher is something i have thought about recently but always refusing to do so cause im not good with kids nor like them as much (funny cuz im still in high school, surrounded by grown children). Also, i feel like teaching isn't my strongest. I just want a career and a life where art is present and being able to create. Anyways, thanks for sharing! ❤️

This really helped me understand a lot about teaching- I’ve been wanting to start the course to becoming an art teacher for a long time, but I’ve been put off as I’ve had my worries, most were in this video actually! This really helped, thanks! I’ve been a little nervous as I have ADHD and I fear that would have a huge impact on teaching, but I’m finding the confidence to go through with it. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much for your insight, its been so helpful! I am curious to know if it is possible to sustain a painting practice and being an art teacher at the same time? I am very organized and focused but it seems with the workload it might not be possible for me to teach art and sustain my painting practice at the same time, I'd really like to know your take on it since you have been through the whole experience.

Hi Zarina, thank you very much for this comment. This is pretty much my biggest struggle of being a teacher. I am currently working 4 days a week so I still have time to make KZread videos, and that works well. So I would recommend looking for part-time teaching roles so you still have time for your creative practice. Schools are hard work but its better working in a café or bar. hope that answers your question!?

I still think a lot about all my art teachers. They gave praise when it was needed, criticism when it was needed, and they never graded on a scale. If you did the assignment, you got a 100%/If you didn't bother to do it, you got a 0%. It was up to the student to take on the criticism, do the work, and my teachers tended to gravitate towards students that were clearly willing to improve, learn, and ask questions... without being judgemental to the students that didn't really care about it. They never really treated art as an absolute discipline, and I loved them for it. I was super surprised when I found out that wasn't the experience that other school kids had: Their art teachers were brutal, soul-crushing creatures, and all those kids hated their art classes. Their teachers were quite absolutist about what constituted as "acceptable art". It sort of rubbed me the wrong way when I heard it, truth be told. Edit: Also, the absolute feeling I got when the teacher lingered over my shoulder or watched me a little more closely because I was making something they found interesting... it was super cool to know that I had made enough of an impact for them to do a double-take.

I like your sweater

Thank you for this honest and open view of teaching. I'm on the cusp of applying to do a pgce D&T to hopefully live and work abroad. Do you know if teaching in international schools is any easier in terms of the admin work?

Hi Reuben, that sounds great and I wish you luck on your PGCE. Honestly in teaching there will always be a lot of admin no matter where in the world you work. But don't let the negatives put you off. On a good day teaching is the best job in the world!

@@ArtTheoriez I am 2 months into the PGCE and I have to agree on a good day it's the best job in the world! Just did my first solo teaching last week! I have never felt so challenged before in how much there is to learn and in a such a unique work environment, but yeah - I love it. Feels like I have a purpose and am (no cliche intended) becoming the best version of myself. There is something really special about teaching, you have to step up and through those challenges you learn and grow as a person. Hopefully I can get enough Art lesson observations in this year so that in future I will be able to teach DT and Art (+Textiles even) overseas. Step by step. :)

Hiya, thank you for the informative video! I have an interview coming up soon for a PGCE in Art and Design, and just wondering if you have any tips? Thanks!

I would recommend reading some books about teaching before hand, it makes you seem prepared. Some good ones are: Pedagogy of the Oppressed, When the Adults Change or Learning to teach Art and Design in Secondary School.

Hey dude :) So, I will start a PCET to become an art teacher in further reducation in a couple of weeks. I'm really excited, but also totally unaware of what to expect ahah I'm a foregneir in the UK, so I'm not familiar with the education system here. I know this might sound like a useless question, but... how should I dress? I have looks in mind, but I'm a tshirt and shorts kinda guy ahaha I'm think something like a casual blazer and whatnot. And also, where do I go to buy this stuff? Primark? I don't have a big budget.

What to wear really depends on the school, but to be safe I would wear a shirt, smart trousers and black shoes (not trainers). I would also get a tie. I decided after my first year of teaching that I was not going to work in a school that demands teachers wear ties, but in your PGCE year you don’t really have a choice where you work so you will probably need a tie. Primark is a good option, I normally get my clothes from charity shops. Good luck with the PGCE!

Hi, I'm in a very similar situation. I've been working as a cover teacher since I graduated from my BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths and have been wanting to become an art tutor/ lecturer but just not in secondary schools. I don't have an MA but at this point I'm wondering whether I could skip ahead and find my way onto an arts PhD either in the UK or abroad. Anyway, I'd love to hear how your search for a relevant PhD and even funding are going in a video soon

@@ArtTheoriez no PGCE, just wondering whether there's another route into teaching by merit of your experience within education or the subject area. Turns out you don't need a teaching qualification to work with a teaching agency/ supply work

Also, did you have to have absolutely top notch grades to apply to do the pcge?

I hate teaching component 2. Kids are so lazy and expect to be spoon fed. It’s so draining. When students do not put in the work for their unit 2 coursework, it makes me feel like a failure
