 I have a tendency to let students in to diversify the classroom, and so that peer learning experience is that kind of one-room schoolhouse experience, where some people have a lot more photo experience. And so that's all about teaching them to be teachers, essentially, and to share information. I say that at the beginning of the class. If you have a bunch of photo experience from either your high school experience or you're a transfer student, I mean, why would you keep that to yourself? I constantly encourage them to help out one another, especially in the dark room. If you see someone struggling, making a contact sheet, why? If you're better at Lightroom 4, why would you keep that under your hat? And so you'll see them in the lab. I'm kind of visualizing, as I say this, side by side and sharing experiences. And that gives you confidence. I mean, I know this sounds very old-world, but the idea of teaching is the best way of learning. And so if you share your experience, it gives you confidence in what you're doing, and it kind of solidifies your own passions, too, and solidifies your own beliefs in terms of learning and your own truths. So it gives you the confidence to continue on. So the one-room schoolhouse, which sounds a little bit like Little House in the Prairie, is something I really encourage because that exchange and dialogue is so important. I think that's one of the most important parts in Garth's classes, really, because, I mean, we only have one Garth, so there's a lot of peer learning that is going on. And people come in with all different sorts of experience. Like, some people took photo in high school, or some people are just getting in the dark room for the first time. So, yeah, I think we're really dependent on, especially the people with more knowledge and who are willing to teach other people. So certain people just teach you new things that you might have overlooked so easily, and that also, I think, is great when it comes to art. And so everyone kind of has their own thing that they do or own thing that they're most interested in doing and their work and something that you would probably overlook, because it's just not something that you think about. So by getting these different viewpoints, by getting people who have different perspectives when it comes to their own art, I think it definitely influences your own art in a very positive way. He has us do group projects, so we have to collaborate whether we like it or not. He puts us in positions where it's almost like forced, like, after, like, communicate with each other and talk through things and everything. Sometimes it can be a little bit stressful, but in the end it always works out because you have to communicate with each other or else it's not going to work. So it's a good environment because you can still talk to him about it and everything, but it also puts pressure on you to get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Getting over the fear and anxiety of reading your statement out loud and getting feedback, you know, just utilizing some of the most simplistic things in the classroom, some of the key ingredients of the classroom is audience, presenting your work to a group of people and you've got your audience right there. You don't need to imagine what someone would, how they respond to your work. You've got your classroom right there. You've got 20 smart people who can respond and give feedback. That sort of bond that he creates with us as students becomes something that's very important in the class. So relationships and peer relationships become very important in the class. He's interested in knowing about you, so other students are interested in knowing about you. And by creating those relationships, you're allowed to flourish and also feel more comfortable to seek out help. When lots of times you don't want to be wrong and so you're afraid, you're afraid to ask questions, you're afraid to go and ask and be like, I don't know what I'm doing, can you help me? But since Garth is so interested in creating a sort of relationship with you as a student, I think that that helps you to create relationships with other students, to ask them for help as well and not be afraid.
