Teachers needed for "Subject specific demos"
Yes, Michele. I would like to see our narrow focus "Subject specific demo" section be enriched and include demos on how to build and strengthen basic skills for those who need them or those who simply wish a review.
In defense of this Forum, I think that access to a good teacher...even on the Internet...is far better than any amount of personal time spent with a poor teacher. But it is ultimately up to the student to sort this out.
Many members have sadly indicated that they do not have access to a teacher or the money to pursue private instruction and that this Forum is very important in their artistic development.
We are fortunate enough to have some really talented pros and semi-pros participate here who are willing to donate their time and attention to those who are struggling. And according to the feedback, I think that they have made a positive difference to many.
The "Subject specific demo" section depends on those of us who are teachers. If you have a specific and helpful topic to share that can benefit others, and you are willing - without recompense - to support a fellow artist in the struggle to improve their skill, you will not have wasted your time.
