Teaching Art

This page collects some of my work around art education.

Teaching Art – Starter Set (2026)

During the course ‘Teachers in Conversation Part II’ led by Joyce Brouwer at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie I researched what we can learn from Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs) for our teaching. I presented the final result as a starter set for teaching art. I’ll soon post a video and some better pictures, but for now you can find the pdf of the core rules down below.

Teaching Art – The podcast (2023)

In the three part podcast series Teaching Art, I looked into what it means to teach art: where we teach art, who teaches it and what exactly is being taught. Each episode represents one of those themes.

Teaching Art is available on all major podcast platforms in the feed of Radio ArtEZ or you can listen below. There is also a Spotify playlist collecting just these three episodes from the main feed.

Episode 1 – Notes on the classroom

In this first episode, I look into some legendary art schools with art historian Joanne Dijkman. In the second part, I discuss the classroom and how we should approach it with writers and teachers Lorena Briedis and Jesse Ball.

Episode 2 – Notes on the Teacher

In this second episode, I explore who should be teaching art, what kind of stance is necessary. I do so in conversation with writers and teachers Jesse Ball, Lorena Briedis and John Vigna.

Episode 3 – Notes on What to Teach

In this final episode, we get into the question of what to teach. Again, I talk to my (distant) colleagues Jesse Ball, John Vigna and Lorena Briedis on what it is we teach when we teach art.
