Art in Schools

I have over 10 years experience of delivering art workshops and projects in schools linked to various parts of the National Curriculum. Covering everything from drawing workshops for a single class to developing comprehensive projects which are delivered to entire year groups over a half term duration. My aim is to teach practical skills, encourage problem solving, build self-esteem through independent and team working whilst creating really cool art! I am a trained Arts Award Advisor, children can gain a certificate from Trinity College London through their work with me and I am also affiliated to the Brilliant Makers Club through AccessArt based in Cambridge. My practice as a professional Painter and Curator informs my work in schools helping to give children a unique insight into the life and work of an artist.
