Professor Krug\u2019s Teaching Philosophy:
\n<\/em><\/strong>I don\u2019t think teaching or learning is a \u201cone size fits all\u201d proposition. In addition to lectures and demonstrations, I talk to each student individually in every class. It is important to me that each student\u2019s needs, strength and weakness are taken into account in the learning process. The thing I look for most in students is growth from one project to the next throughout the semester. I also make a point of bringing examples from my own work to the class to demonstrate how the skills I am teaching work in the world outside of the classroom.<\/p>\n

On Precollege Programs:
\n<\/em><\/strong>I find teaching in the precollege program extremely rewarding. I am continuously impressed with the level of commitment, skill and creativity that the high school students bring to the classroom. In addition I find that the high school students are eager to learn new techniques and ideas. I take great pleasure in being able to facilitate this process.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not teaching, I work as a designer, writer, illustrator and fine artist. I have created textile designs for the apparel and home furnishing market. I have illustrated a variety of books including cookbooks, gardening books, and children\u2019s books. My paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions. In addition I wrote and illustrated a picture book, No, Silly! <\/em>published by Simon & Schuster this February.<\/p>\n
