The Kid Creative -
The aims of our learning environment "My aim as an art educator is to create a learning environment that both engages & nurtures students, encouraging them to explore & investigate the world around them, through a creative process. Numbers are kept to a minimum in both term and workshop classes so I am better able to give the individual attention that all students require to assist them with their developmental needs. Collaboration also plays an important role in our classes encouraging students to work together & exercise their imaginations. *Please see the slideshow at the bottom of the page to see how I like to create and engage with students in my term classes the studio. |
