VISUAL ARTS

We make artists.

As an art teacher, I aim to create an artistic journey where young learners can enjoy and develop an appreciation of the visual arts, and to have the skills and confidence to apply their creative ability in their artwork.

All students will have an opportunity to explore various art media and artistic techniques, and to develop an understanding of the principles and elements of art that make up a pleasing art piece. From time to time, we will critically review works and styles of well-known artists whose work we want to emulate.

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” - Pablo Picasso

I completed a National Diploma in Interior Design at Wits Technikon. I also did a certificate in Architectural draughting at Inscape. I worked in the design industry doing exhibition stand and kitchen design in the early years of my career. My experience in teaching has been over 20 years, in which time I've taught Design and Technology, Art and other school subjects. I currently teach art to Grade One through to Grade Six at The Kings College and Preparatory School.
