My main goal for students is for them to develop agency and confidence in both their creative voice and in their process. As such, I encourage them to iterate quickly, and to dive into the practice of seeing projects to completion as soon as possible. Failing fast and often through multiple low stakes projects provides exponentially more insight than diving into the “Big Project.” It is easy to become overly precious with ideas and rob oneself of the opportunity to practice making. Students need to develop trust that the ideas will come, and to let go of the apprehension of using them up. This will give them a solid foundation of experience as they approach their capstone projects. I also place a heavy emphasis on peer interaction, whether through prompting discussion participation, or through pushing students to offer meaningful critique amongst themselves. My approach centers the individual strengths of each student and the demystification of the creative process. I encourage students to name their abilities and their passions and to hone these impulses into a process that amplifies and maximizes their unique skills.
