Mr D has tried many jobs, but he enjoys teaching art the most…
Jon Denhartigh is an art teacher from America. He now teaches at UISZ, but he has had many jobs before this. He couldn’t find a regular occupation since he graduated from college with an art degree. This is the story of how “Mr.D” became interested in being an art teacher
“I never wanted to be a teacher”
Mr. D. said that he had been a landscaper, a truck driver, construction a worker and even a cleaner before. But those aren’t his preferred occupations. In this desperate situation, he started to teach English. As time went by he loved the times when he was teaching, and the feeling takes him to way of teaching.
“My love for painting makes me a better teacher”
After he started to teach English, he started to teach art. He loves the process of making art, and this motivated him to be a teacher. He has been teaching lots of people in different countries, and he enjoys the different cultures of art in the different countries.
Nothing inspires him to be a teacher more than art.
