Ran a bi-weekly arts class for children aged 12 and above. The class covered areas such as basic drawing, basic design and painting.
Teaching Art is a fullfilling experience as I find myself engaging with creative minds. The challenge is always to be able to communicate a creative aspect across, due to its nature, art is usually beyond expression in words. It is the practical aspect I enjoy about teaching art.
I am most inspired when i work with "sidelined" students. Art is a great why for self realisation and confidence boosting.
Masters in Fine Arts
My main focus is painting. From this central point I work with other media such as video, sculpture, animation and performance. This culminates in a practice that is both experimental while being both rich and diverse in content.
The following are the details of my superior at the below addressed College where I taught art.

I am a practising artist, with an interest in working with communites, organizations and individuals who are interested in the marketing of art, and in workshops and forums for promoting arts and culture.
As an experienced art tutor, I have the ability to draw out the best out in students. I work with people of all levels who want to engage with art, from both a technical and theoretical standpoint.
Experience in the performing arts also enhances my ability to engage with the human form better, whether it be in the visual arts,performing arts or workshops in the above areas.
