The Art of Teaching and Breaking Rules with Robin Dakin
In this episode of unchARTeDayton, we welcome artist and educator Robin Dakin, who recently left teaching high school ceramics after 27 years.
Episode Highlights:
Robin's journey from military family to artist
The reciprocal learning process between teachers and students
Exposing the boundaries between art, craft, and folk art
Robin's influences, from MAD Magazine to Appalachian artists
The philosophy of "casual vs. sloppy" in art-making
Robin's unique approach to art education and personal expression
Join us for a fascinating conversation that weaves through ceramics, folk art, MAD Magazine to Norman Rockwell to Andy Warhol to Patti Smith to Taylor Swift, and the ever-evolving definition of what constitutes "art." Robin shares insights from his Masters degree focus on folk art and Appalachian artists, and how these influences inspire his work.
Discover how Robin's background in a military family influenced his artistic journey, and hear his reflections on being "outside the herd" in the art world. From his painted art truck to his advocacy for low brow art, Robin's story is one of constant evolution and creative exploration.
