Scribble Art Workshop, an organization dedicated to high quality visual arts instruction, is looking for teaching artists for our residency programs and after-school classes in schools in New York City. This position includes teaching art at least 3 days per week (classes are M-Th 2:30-5:30pm) at Coney Island Prep. If you cannot teach at this location, please do not apply. We provide curriculum and instructional coaching. Candidate should have at least 1 year of teaching experience in an elementary school setting, be highly motivated to continue to improve his/her teaching practice, be extremely dependable and believe that being a great artist is not about knowing how to draw but rather knowing how to think creatively. Our company centers around giving our students (ages 18 months and up) the authentic experience of working as artists: conceiving of original ideas and then realizing those ideas through to fruition. We are not about having a class where all students create the same fruit bowl painting or replicate the styles of master painters. If you believe this is valuable, please do not apply. Part of teaching within our company requires paid ongoing training (@$17/hour) and professional development within a community of our teachers.
