Hello Everyone:

    Thanks so much for the many thoughtful responses I have received to
    my questions on teaching. 

    I have decided to really try to be open with the students. I want to
    able to share the techniques that I have picked up along the way
    without fear that they might copy me. I don't want to limit the
    classes like that. I have submitted a proposal for a "basics" class.
    I introduce the students to 5 or 6 techniques that I use. I show them
    examples incorporating the techniques. Then I let them take it from
    there. If they want to copy one of my samples, that's ok. If I can
    spark their creativity at all and they start thinking of their own
    projects, that's even better. 

    Thanks again, I really appreciate everyone taking the time. 

Best Regards,
Kim Starbard
