Teaching Philosophy
Much of my teaching philosophy is based on what students have taught me:
-
That the creative process is an intuitive and very personal process to be encouraged and also carefully respected and protected.
-
That creating Art takes you to a whole different realm where age is not important.
-
That, in fact, Art often becomes a bridge between generations.
-
That every piece of Art has value, even our 'reject' Art, which we have learnt from, since this is an important step without which we cannot evolve as artists.
-
That good artwork almost always reflects who we really are.
