The teacher of art must, of necessity, reach students on a personal as well as an intelligent level. The process of teaching in the arts thus demands personal sharing and commitment, and in this it is related to the process of creative work. This paper examines the process of creative teaching from the viewpoint of a feminist aesthetic. Artistic growth is seen as related to personal growth, and the learning processes of teacher and students are seen as related. Finally, the commonalities and conflicts of art making and art teaching are examined, and potential solutions for the conflicts are suggested.
