Creative Approach and Experiences Offered

In my workshops and classes, we explore colour, layering and sculpture by experimenting with a variety of materials. Emphasis is on learning to think spatially and creatively through observation of the surroundings and converting those observations to imaginative design. Observation skills are developed mostly through compositional skills, through collage & printmaking, and colour juxtaposition through painting. Drawing is used to help formulate ideas and clay to formulate these ideas into 3-D art forms. My approach is to work collaboratively with teachers particularly when it comes to themes and budget. Aside from teaching drawing and painting skills ( watercolour, acrylic, tempura) my workshops have included techniques using ceramics, polymer clay, papier mâché and stop motion animation- all of which are adaptable to zoom!
