My Project

I am endlessly inspired by the creativity and uniqueness of my students. Each one possesses a special spark that fuels their artistic journey in the classroom. What sets them apart is their unwavering enthusiasm and eagerness to explore new mediums.

Introducing clay tools into our curriculum is not only about fostering their artistic growth but also about nurturing their problem-solving abilities and encouraging experimentation.

My goal for this project is to empower my students to express themselves freely through sculpting, to cultivate their confidence in their artistic capabilities, and to instill in them a lifelong passion for creativity and self-expression. By providing them with the tools and guidance they need, I aim to create an environment where they can flourish and truly shine as artists.
