About
Each lesson include a basic lesson plan that can be custom fit to the group. In the class students learn how to develop an idea and enjoy some basic introduction to the task.
The class has always a cultural component. It can have a relation to history, faith or literature and most of all to a personal memory or imagination.
My favorite component of helping others in their creative works through drawing and painting is to see their growth. If they gain insight in their own preferences, passions and styles, skills and thoughts, it is a great class for me. Many people think of themself as not artistic and I like to encourage them to practice and do it to see if they enjoy it.
I have been an art teacher for 23 years and for 16 through a non-profit called Arts For The Schools. In 2016 I also focused on classes introductory classes in acrylics, watercolor., oil and drawing for children and adults.
Through my 10 year experience working at Martis Camp Club, a golf resort with an artloft fir its members, I have focused more on the aspect of multi-generational learning as an experience through art as recreation.
In contrast I have taught in a probation school for 12 years and focused on the mental health aspect of art, emphasizing the value of art and how artists contribute to their communities in different culture.
