My philosophy for art education.
I believe art is a constructive form of expression and with right foundations it can equip students with tools for navigation for success in life. Students are more likely to be motivated when lesson is relevant to them. I constantly strive to find new lessons and teaching strategies that will help my students’ classroom experience positive and help them achieve their full potential. I wish to inspire understanding and appreciation of art in my students and hope for them to develop passion for lifelong learning.
