Teaching Philosophy
Art offers students a unique opportunity to express themselves, think critically, and explore their creative potential. Through experimentation with materials, I’ve discovered meaningful ways to visually represent my identity and experiences. As an art teacher, I am committed to fostering a student-centered classroom where creativity thrives, and students develop essential problem-solving skills.
Drawing from my experience with the TAB (Teaching Artistic Behavior) approach, I empower students to take risks and let their own artistic voices guide their work. I provide skill-building exercises to strengthen their techniques, while also allowing them the freedom to explore their personal artistic vision.
Through hands-on experiments, self-discovery methods, and personalized guidance, I help students build confidence in their abilities and develop a deeper understanding of the creative process. Art is a platform for students to take risks, explore cultural perspectives, and enhance both creative and critical thinking skills. My approach blends traditional art techniques with modern technologies, empowering students to express their ideas in meaningful ways. I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive environment where students can freely explore, experiment, and develop their unique artistic voices.
