As an Art teacher, I aim to;-

  • Provide a friendly, safe, positive and inclusive environment in which to explore one's creative potential

  • Encourage critical and lateral thinking

  • Combine art historical and contemporary contexts alongside the practical elements

  • Inspire a sense of visual curiosity and facilitate self-directed learning

  • Engender a sense of artistic community, wellbeing and foster the therapeutic potential within art practice

  • Give practical direction and constructive feedback

  • Focus on developing technical skills, confidence building, personal artistic growth and creative self expression
