Rebecca Alm is Professor Emeritus in Fine Arts and founder of the Online Learning department at MCAD (just one of her numerous accomplishments during a 35-year career at the college). Rebecca stresses that while it’s great for students to have ideas, they must be able to execute those ideas.

In this edition of One Weird Trick, Professor Alm walks us through a technique she employed as an instructor. The secret sauce? Pairing the conceptual with the craft.
