Teaching Art in Second Life

Gypsy Easel

It’s true — you can teach art classes in Second Life, and here’s how it’s done. First, get hold of this instant artist easel shown here. I’ll put in a link where you can get it:

But now that you have your Gypsy Easel in hand or at least in Inventory, what do you do with it? How do you use it to teach an art class? It’s very simple if you can follow directions well.

First, make sure you have a set of partially finished painting, drawing, sketch or whatever image you’re using to demonstrate the particular artistic technology.

Take a photo at each important stage of development of the painting. Get the image into Second Life by uploading it, following standard image upload instructions, or get into a class here at the Ashram and learn how from experts.

Well, that’s it. Just another Thing You Can Do on The Other Side. You can only see this in use at the Ashram, but if you’re planning on participating in the Public Airport & Mall Project on the Mainland, you’ll want to know about this and other techniques for teaching classes in Second Life.

There are a number of easels, including progressive image graphics, but that’s the basic idea… create “extremes”, images that are fundamental to the process, then let the “in-betweens” take care of themselves.

See You At The Top!!!
