It is said in the Indian culture that a teacher is one who imparts all his knowledge to his students and makes the students independent. An art instructor also is one who by means of making his students aware of various art forms and the works of stalwarts in the field teaches about all the instruments, tools, materials, etc. to explore their own knack. An art instructor ideally should have certain qualities like being observant, giving, recognizing the specialties of every student, understanding the psyche of an artist and his students, encouraging, supportive, etc.

The subject matter of the letter should be about your capabilities and suitability for the available position in their organization.

Subject: Job application for Art Instructor
I request you to consider this letter of mine as an application for the Art Instructor in Free Innovative Art Foundation. I have been fond of art since childhood and it is long thought of dream to be an instructor so that I can impart as much as I can to my students. I have some specialized area of interest and qualification which are mentioned in my resume. I write this letter to especially bring to your notice what I believe an art instructor needs to have, and I have it.

I am sure you want someone who shares similar beliefs and here I am. I would love to come and meet you if you wish; I am available on the weekdays and Saturdays as well.
Thanking you for your time.
