I read an article today that compared a good teacher to an enzyme, which it described as “Nature’s go-to facilitator of change”. The article went on to explain:
“Enzymes don’t create change in and of themselves. Rather, enzymes lower the threshold activation energy required for a reaction to proceed. Lower activation energy = vastly increased rate of change.”
The reason I wanted to do a Masters in Fine Art (MFA) was to bring about a state of change in my art practice that I am unable to bring about on my own. Originally, I had thought I would go to London to do my MFA, but COVID, and the experience of doing online art courses it facilitated (in lieu of the ones I had previously been doing in London), opened me up the possibility and benefits of doing it online.
When I discovered that Central Saint Martins offer an MFA online, I was thrilled, and when I met the course leader, Jonathan Kearney, I was convinced it was the right course for me. It was clear from that first meeting that Jonathan is an exceptional teacher, an impression that was confirmed during my first one-to-one tutorial with him yesterday. Far from merely being an imparter of knowledge, Jonathan is that rare breed of teacher who is a catalyst for change and growth, able to bring forth the latent potential that resides within the student. Simply put, he is a super-charged enzyme!
