In my lessons, I focus on creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable to experiment and push their creative boundaries. I believe in a structured approach to teaching, but with flexibility that allows each student to develop their own style and artistic identity. My lessons often start with a brief introduction to the technique or concept we will be working on, followed by hands-on practice where I guide students step by step. Whether it’s learning about color theory, perspective, or mastering different drawing techniques, I ensure the lessons are engaging and tailored to each student’s level.

I also incorporate real-world examples and references from various artists, both contemporary and historical, to inspire students and show them the vast possibilities within the world of art. As an artist myself, I understand the importance of continuous learning and exploration, so I encourage my students to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them.

In addition to technical skills, I emphasize the importance of personal expression in art. I want students to feel confident in sharing their ideas and emotions through their work. I provide constructive feedback that helps them improve while also celebrating their unique artistic voice.

With my experience in teaching, I strive to ensure that every student feels supported and empowered, whether they are working on a single project or exploring a broader artistic journey. My goal is for them to leave each lesson feeling accomplished and excited about their progress.
