Amy..teaching art was and is one of my favorite things to do. depending where you live schools sometimes support art education while other systems consider it a frill.If you live near a university with an art education dept. check it out. if you go foward plan to be a great teacher we have too many that just get by, and most of them are not having fun.

Dear Dr. Grossman,
i have read through bits and pieces of your site while scanning the internet in confusion, due the pressure of having to find a pathway and a goal in terms of a career. However i feel i have lost my way a little and seem to be the only one to have not chosen a direction to go in. I have always been an imaginative and creative person who loves interation with people and the feeling that i may have inspired some of them. Sometimes i may not completely believe in myself and do not have the so called confidence you said an artist should have. I have been considering becoming an art teacher but i would love to have your advice on the matter. I am studying alevels at the moment but unfortunatley had to drop art because i couldnt handle the crticism. i feel my need to please everybody and avoid enemies and negetivity may be a problem. From a confused 17 year old girl.

I spent almost half my life pondering what i was going to be when i grew up. I finally realized that i could not predict what was to happen in the future, that if i was to achieve "heaven" in this life I would have to start doing and enjoying the moment the now. Start by doing the best in school right now. don't worry about what you will be, concentrate on what you can be now. not a girl that worries too much about what she thinks others want.This is a great life lesson, many budding artist take criticism to heart, and become wilted buds. Great art is your unique expression from the depths of your soul. artistic skills are important and helpful but not to be taken seriously. they are only tools you use on your path of life. you can not judge your ultimate life expression by what someone else says or doesn't say. finish high school take basic courses first two years of collage and the events that transpire will inspire your path. take a deep breath and trust.
