What I didn’t realize
• I was mastering the subject
• I was reviving my creative self.
• I was becoming known for my drawing skills
• I was creating the knowledge base and tools I would later need.
• I had created a powerful forward momentum.

Things evolve unexpectedly…
Back to Carpentry and Miserable
Sending out Resume and Not getting much response.
Feeling isolated and discouraged
A position opens at the Art Institute of New England for a Drawing Teacher
I am recommended
by a CCT student who
became familiar with my Drawing
ability.
Later, I discover they hire me because of my passion, knowledge of the field, and skill in Editorial Cartooning.

A position opens at the Art Institute of New England for a Drawing Teacher…
I could Not have gotten this position if I was not prepared:
•A portfolio of my work
•First hand Knowledge of the Field
•A Record of my professional work
•An ability to discuss education in terms of Critical and Creative Thinking.
Amazingly, these are direct outcomes of my Synthesis & Practicum work.
