Assistant Teachers Internship Plan
Berne Chu
I have over thirteen years of art experience in a variety of mediums. I can switch between mediums including pencil, watercolor, acrylic, and digital illustration. I like to experiment with different compositions and blending of different artistic styles including Chinese ink painting, anime/manga, and Western naturalistic illustration. I use traditional forms of medium to draw objects from real life, and I use digital art to depict magic in a fantasy world. Although Digital art is harder to use than traditional mediums because the colors and brushes are more versatile, it also allows more freedom in terms of the texture of the piece.
I also have abundant experience in working with kids, as I am the main teacher of a children's art club called Art Together. In January 2021, I established Art Together, an art club for children housed within the non-profit organization Love Thy Neighbor. There are fifty members between ages 5-12; we meet monthly on Zoom to draw for two hours on a topic of my choosing. Throughout these two years, I found out that every child is born an artist and I want to help them continue expanding their own unique art style.
Tina Chu
I had started working with art ever since I was 4 years-old, learning to draw and make crafts. I have experience using many different materials to draw and just make art in general. Besides creating art itself, I also like to teach and help kids to learn the fun of making art. I believe that kids have a lot of creativity in themselves because they don’t have a limited thinking of what they can or cannot create. Teaching kids can help me understand their thinking through what they express in art. And being able to teach art to less experienced kids is inspiring because being able to teach something to someone also helps me understand more about myself.
