I will be teaching video art at this year's New Arts Camp at Living Arts of Tulsa (http://livingarts.org/edu.htm)
Last year, I was completely new to teaching in general. I was very nervous the first day...and of course it got better over the next 2 weeks of the camp.
I have learned many things about teaching this particular subject (video art) and the first thing is to get the students to think about how video can be used to convey their thoughts and ideas...just like any medium. But of course in video, the paintbrush is film.
In my class, they will use camcorders with DV tapes, digital cameras, the Casablanca video editing system, projectors, TV monitors, DVDs and DVD players, and this year, they will be using Mac laptops installed with Photoshop, AfterEffects, Illustrator, and iMovie.
Here's a video of an awesome feedback effect in China Rose Goodner's New Art's Camp final presentation in 2011: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivbjU-AVmVg&feature=youtu.be

I am the instructor for ArtCore, a program that is very unique. It encourages children to explore art beyond drawing, paintings, etc into field such as video art, performance art, music, sculpture, etc.
At the end of the program, we put all of these different fields together into a final presentation.
I am also a painter and video artist. It is difficult to make art and teach it in this economy and I may have to give it up soon so I can pay off my student loans. I live and breath art and giving less and less time to it has become a reality.
