“Those That Can’t Do, Teach.” “No, I Teach, So I can Do!”
Are you a professional painter? I have been a very active artist within the Northern Virginia, Arlington, Falls Church and the DC art scene for over 20 years now. I’m an artist, and also a Professor at Georgetown University. I love teaching. It gives me a sense of personal satisfaction and my students are always inspiring me. I learn a lot from them and I wonder if I would still be an artist if I had not chosen this profession. Many of my colleague from when I was school are no longer active artists. That’s okay of course, but I wonder how much of it is due to the loss of desire vs the need to make a living?
That brings me to a phrase I sometimes hear that I want turn on its head. The phrase, “Those That Can’t Do, Teach.”
Well, I for one “Teach, So I can Do!” This video explains it best.
