Unedited Teaching Video
The videos below contain unedited footage of Deanna Troy Henry teaching at the Roxbury Tenants of Harvard After School Program (Roxbury Crossing, MA). She taught this class in the community room of the program, where multiple classes are being held simultaneously and the student body changes daily. The lesson Deanna is teaching, is about the importance of being specific with your art-making process. Through this lesson Deanna teaches these students the meaning of "collaboration", "studio", and "studio assistant". She provides insight into the art world by explaining to them that many famous artists have studio assistants that help them create their artwork. Students learn about the importance of specificity in the art-making process by acting as a famous artist: they create a set of written directions for a drawing and then get their partner, the studio assistant, to follow these drawing directions. Their "studio assistant's" drawing from their directions, acts as an assessment tool to determine the specificity of their directions.
