Teaching Philosophy

Art is omnipresent, and every child deserves the chance to explore, appreciate, and participate in it. It provides a secure space for ​exploration and, when needed, a refuge.

As Albert Einstein famously said, "A student is not a container you have to fill but a torch you have to light up." To accomplish this, ​my primary focus is on empowering my students with hands-on knowledge and enriching their understanding of art vocabulary. I ​aim to offer them diverse opportunities to explore various mediums, both two-dimensionally and three-dimensionally, fostering ​avenues for self-expression. Moreover, I am dedicated to equipping them with the ability to articulate their artistic creations and ​intentions eloquently and tactfully in front of others. These skills not only nurture their artistic development but also cultivate vital ​life skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, and the ability to deliver presentations that authentically reflect their ​identities.
