My Approach as a Visual Arts Tutor
I have been teaching visual arts since 1999, with extensive experience in Art 1, Art 2, AP Art Drawing, 2D Design, AP Sculpture, Mixed Media, and Photoshop/Digital Media. My approach is student-centered, combining technical mastery with creative exploration.
Teaching Method and Techniques:
I focus on building foundational skills first, such as drawing, composition, and color theory, before advancing to specialized techniques.
I integrate both traditional and digital media, guiding students through watercolor, acrylic, sculpture, mixed media, and digital art platforms like Photoshop and Photopea.
Lessons involve demonstrations, hands-on practice, and one-on-one feedback to help students refine their work.
For AP Art students, I provide step-by-step portfolio guidance, including Sustained Investigations, Selected Works, written reflections, and presentation skills.
Typical Lesson Plan:
Warm-up / Skill Practice – Short exercises to strengthen technique.
Project Introduction – Explanation of objectives, inspiration, or theme.
Guided Work Time – Students create their artwork with individualized feedback.
Reflection and Critique – Review progress, discuss composition, technique, and improvements.
Homework / Follow-up – Encourage sketchbook work or digital practice to build continuity.
What Sets Me Apart:
Over 24 years of teaching experience in international school settings.
Expertise across both traditional and digital media.
Specialized in AP Art portfolio development, helping students achieve high-quality submissions and prepare for college-level art programs.
Emphasis on personal artistic growth, not just grades, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and artistic confidence.
Who the Lessons Are For:
High school students preparing for AP Art Drawing, 2D Design, or AP Sculpture.
Beginners or intermediate students seeking to improve drawing, painting, or digital art skills in Art I, Art II, or mixed media classes. Students aiming to develop a professional portfolio for exhibitions or art school applications.
My goal is to empower students to express their creativity confidently, master technical skills, and complete professional-level artwork and portfolios.
