Classroom Approach

I strive to foster creativity in my students through various engaging activities. For instance, I often introduce open-ended art projects that allow my students to explore their imagination freely. One example is a project where students are given a prompt, such as "create a piece that represents your happiest memory," and are encouraged to interpret and express it in their unique way. Additionally, I incorporate discussions about professional artists and their diverse work to inspire students to experiment with new techniques. By creating a supportive and inclusive environment where students feel empowered to take artistic risks, I aim to nurture their creative spirit and individuality.

Teaching Philosophy

My mission as an art educator is to support and nurture each student’s unique creativity and spark a passion for the arts that can follow them into adulthood. I approach every student with empathy and genuine care, appreciating the collaborative journey we embark on together. My teaching philosophy is grounded in respect, connection, and the unwavering belief in the potential of every student. I recognize that each student possesses inherent strengths that can empower them to excel, and it is my responsibility as an educator to harness these strengths while providing support through their challenges.

I firmly believe that fostering a respectful and inclusive classroom environment is essential for nurturing creativity. Building authentic connections with my students is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role, and witnessing the creativity of young minds is a constant source of inspiration. I hold the belief that the learning process is reciprocal; I learn just as much from my students as they do from me. Together we can explore the endless world of creativity! I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to guide and learn alongside them.
