Teaching Philosophy:<\/em>
\n<\/strong>My goal is to help my students think creatively and experiment with a variety of styles and methodologies that help them discover their artistic selves. I want my students to be inspired by art history and artistic traditions, as well as by nature and contemporary events. My students search for connections between music, theatre, cinema, literature, architecture, and other mediums of expression. My teaching method is based on the classical principles of drawing as well as contemporary trends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I believe that it is important to nurture students as individuals by showing them a variety of techniques. I help my students channel their talent and passion into an\u00a0<\/strong>artistic product that demonstrates a rich art vocabulary.<\/p>\n

Multiple demonstrations, repetitions,\u00a0and collaborations are essential to my teaching practice. I always make sure that my students are informed about what is going on around them in the artistic, political, and social sense so that they are conscious of the outside world that they bring into their work.<\/p>\n
