As an instructor, Barrickman emphasizes collaboration and community, experimentation and making and above all, humanity. “My teaching philosophy changes, depending on the learning style of my student!” he explains. “[C]ultivating humanity is at the root of teaching … I teach while acknowledging my own humanity and that of my students. Art is one way that we can give form to these dynamics.”
