Kari Steeves--Teaching resume

My teaching experience encompasses both studio classes and art history. On the college and post-graduate level, I have taught drawing, etching, and introduction to contemporary art, modern art history, and the history of Renaissance art. I have also trained museum lecturers and docents on the Internet as an art medium, and conducted training sessions on various software for colleagues in my workplace. I maintain an arbitrary timeline of history to track relationships of events and ideas as they arise in my teaching or other work. It will always be a work in progress.
