About the Instructor<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n After my college graduation, my father suggested I should consider teaching. I responded that it was too big of a responsibility and doubted that I teach others when I struggled to discover my own “palette.”<\/span><\/p>\n In the following 16 years, I worked as designer, art director, illustrator, muralist, freelance artist and fine artist. Although I became accomplished in these roles, I never lost sight of my father’s suggestion.<\/span><\/p>\n In 1999 I had a career-changing experience – a generous patron funded construction of a studio on my property. Her sincere regard for my artwork as well as her faith in my creative development was unconditional and reassuring. The studio has continuously allowed me to reflect and create works of art of great size and complexity.<\/span><\/p>\n In time and with more confidence, I did follow my father’s advice, adding teaching to my resume.\u00a0My desire to direct students to the top art collegiate programs and careers brought me to the Excel TECC<\/a> consortium.<\/span><\/p>\n Now, as a dedicated artist and teacher, I instruct students at their current level and mentor them into the artists I know they can become. I recognize that success comes from being a lifelong learner and student of your craft, an approach that I inspire in my students each day in the SAD studio.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ specialty_columns=”3″][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.0.85″ custom_padding=”|0px||0px” padding_bottom_1=”0px” padding_bottom_2=”0px” make_equal=”on” use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image portrait” _builder_version=”3.0.85″ show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”off” src=”https:\/\/studioartdesign.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/dan-retrato.jpg” module_alignment=”center” max_width=”73%” \/][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image studio interior” _builder_version=”3.0.85″ show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”off” src=”https:\/\/studioartdesign.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/studio-interior.jpg” alt=”Whitely Studio interior” title_text=”Whitely Studio interior” align=”center” \/][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.0.85″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″][et_pb_column_inner type=”4_4″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.85″ src=”https:\/\/studioartdesign.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC01950secondwebsite.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”off” module_alignment=”right” max_width=”93%” \/][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.0.86″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding=”||20px|25px”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_3″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″][et_pb_button admin_label=”Button – resume” _builder_version=”3.0.85″ button_text=”Download Resume” url_new_window=”on” button_alignment=”right” background_layout=”light” custom_button=”on” button_border_color=”#e09900″ button_icon_placement=”right” button_icon=”%%126%%” button_text_size=”14″ button_text_color=”#81716a” button_url=”https:\/\/studioartdesign.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DanWhitely-Resume.pdf” \/][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_3″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″][et_pb_button admin_label=”Button – news” _builder_version=”3.0.85″ button_text=”Read News Profile” button_url=”https:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/arts\/index.ssf\/2010\/05\/shaker_art_teacher_shares_his.html” url_new_window=”on” button_alignment=”center” background_layout=”light” custom_button=”on” button_border_color=”#e09900″ button_icon=”%%71%%” button_icon_placement=”right” button_text_color=”#81716a” button_text_size=”14″ \/][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_3″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″][et_pb_button admin_label=”Button – website” _builder_version=”3.0.85″ button_text=”Visit Artist Website” button_url=”https:\/\/danieljameswhitely.com\/” url_new_window=”on” button_alignment=”left” background_layout=”light” custom_button=”on” button_border_color=”#e09900″ button_icon_placement=”right” button_icon=”%%119%%” button_text_color=”#81716a” button_text_size=”14″ \/][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.87″ custom_padding=”30px|||”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.86″ custom_padding=”35px||10px|”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text – art\/work” _builder_version=”3.0.89″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n ART<\/span>at<\/span>WORK<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
