Combining your skills of artist and teacher is especially rewarding when students voice their appreciation for helping them not only artistically express themselves but also improve the quality of their lives. ~Elena Parashko

It’s important for teachers to encourage their students, and to create a safe place where students feel free to explore, create and make mistakes without ridicule. ~Elena Parashko

If you don’t want to share your ‘secrets,’ you will not enjoy teaching, and students will not enjoy being there. ~Elena Parashko

Art is all about individuality and creativity, and there really is no one right way of doing anything. ~Elena Parashko

Some students will come to you with an extensive education. Respect that knowledge and learn from it. ~Elena Parashko

Art is all about creativity, but often when a teacher wants to impart information, they forget this basic principle and become very prescriptive about students copying the process or the product exactly. ~Elena Parashko

Teaching others the skills involved in creating works of art, in weekly classes or one-off workshops, can be personally and financially rewarding for artists. ~Elena Parashko

You should have a separate bank account for your art. Trying to tease out your art cash flow from your personal bank account numbers is a nightmare. ~Robert Reed

You need a budget to make a reasonable decision and then to make the appropriate financial adjustments to support that decision. ~Robert Reed

Budgets are important because making art is expensive. Even if your materials are cheap (something I have never seen), your time and effort are not. ~Robert Reed
