My thoughts on teaching by Ruth Chase Boudreaux:

I completed my education at San Francisco Art Institute in 1990.  I been teaching
Adults and children since 1991. Over the years I've come up with my own theory about
how to teach art.
You can make amazing art today, you don't need years of
training to do this. What makes us want to create is the experience we have when were
making art. Making something look like what you wanted it to offers great satisfaction,
but I don't believe that is why we paint, dance, make music or even garden. Rather the
feeling we get while were creating. Like meditating or connecting, it's a synchronized
feeling. When you can do that you get:  GREAT ART NOW!

My classes don't teach the tricks to make things look real. I don't teach technique just
to make things look REAL.
I teach that when you are connected and creating
at the same time, no matter how abstract or real your work looks, you
will always get a great outcome. But more importantly you will be doing
what attracted you to art making in the first place.
A sort of meditative,
synchronized feeling. A relationship with you being expressed onto canvas or paper.

Over the years I have taught many art classes. All of which have lead me to where I
am now. I started teaching children again when my daughter Adrienne came into my
life five years ago. After talking with Emily from The Children's Farm about how I
didn't care for teaching children "projects". That it goes against every grain in my body
to instruct "how" to make art in a linear way. Emily introduced me to Reggio Emilia
and I have been hooked.
This method is in many ways similar to how I was introduced to art at San Francisco
Art Institute. Do it, be free and use your eyes, body and soul to create in the moment.
Create your experience. So I began teaching the Parent & Me Class in 2008. I have
seen many free spirits come through my studio. And
with joy and curiosity
have enjoyed offering a space for these young creators to play
and do what they do naturally - explore - imagine - create.

Love, Ruth
