Fine & Visual Arts Instructor (Online) at IDMANN Academy

Job Details

• IDMANN Academy is looking for instructors in Fine & Visual Arts to teach students the techniques and methods of fine art.
• Applicants must be very familiar with the use of digital tools in modern art. This includes not only the use of current software applications but also the use of artistic aids such as drawing tablets and digital pens.

Prospective applicants should note the following:

• Instructors should expect to be engaged approximately 20 hours per week with a very small group of 1-3 students.
• We expect the fine arts instructor to be able to cover introductory (digital as well as freehand) drawing and painting.
• The intending instructor should be able to put together a hands-on experience that engages and motivates students to further explore and develop their innate artistic talent.
• A good theoretical foundation in the visual arts is required to provide the necessary grounding for the students. To that end, some formal training in fine or visual arts is a requirement.
• Candidates will be required to submit a mini-portfolio as part of the evaluation process.
• Prior experience teaching online or familiarity with an online teaching engagement would be beneficial in this position. (Training will be provided for instructors who have not had experience teaching online.)

Requirements
Intending instructors Must have all of the following:

• A reliable laptop or desktop, equipped with a good quality webcam and microphone, keyboard and mouse (or touchpad), as no instruction will be permitted over a handheld or mobile device.
• An available drawing tablet/digital pen will be considered a distinct advantage during the evaluation process.
• Stable, reliable broadband internet access.
• Space from which to provide daily instruction to students, free of distraction or intrusion during class sessions.
• Availability four to five days a week (at specific times to be preset by the class timetables).
