About
Jack Jarden
What is the best and
quickest way to improve?
It is to learn from
someone who is experienced, but more
importantly, someone who knows how to
communicate the truly important points that you
need to improve your oil paintings. This is
where I come in.
As young as 20 years old
I was assigned the duty of being the teacher's
assistant in art school. The teachers would
refer other students to me for technical
questions because of my knowledge and my
ability to communicate the important points to
the other students. Some of these students
asked me to teach them privately because the
were truly learning from things I was teaching
them.
I do not teach formally
anymore. Frankly, I don't have the time. I do
enjoy teaching though and the internet allows
me to do so through my writings.
I remember the
frustration of my own student days and how
wrong I knew it was to teach the way most art
lessons are taught. I always knew when I would
teach, I would never teach students that way. I
would only teach them things that would truly
help them. I enjoyed teaching classes and
watching the students learn and become excited
about the information I was giving
them.
Now with internet, I have
a chance to help and teach as many people as
possible.
