Teaching style
I offer residencies of varying lengths to K-12 students. They could be exclusive or inclusive in nature. These programs provide hands-on art experiences in a supportive environment that is adapted to meet the needs of the individual participants. This insures that everyone is successful. I believe in helping everyone reach his or her creative potential regardless of age or skill level. Art provides opportunities for students to express themselves, learn about their world, interact positively with others, and contribute to society. Towards that end, I develop projects that reinforce both scholastic and individual goals. These goals can include:
1. Art technique skills
2. Academic lessons (math, history, science, reading)
3. Communication
4. Attention span
5. Fine motor coordination
6. Decision making
7. Following directions
8. Visual-spatial skills
9. Self-esteem
