My teaching philosophy centers on bridging technology and fine art, encouraging students to utilize emerging technologies to create work that reflects and interrogates contemporary society. I employ methods such as self-directed learning, peer teaching, and constructivist approaches to foster creative exploration and critical analysis.
I believe in the transformative power of art education in the digital age, where students must understand both traditional artistic principles and contemporary digital tools. My approach emphasizes innovation over regurgitation, guiding students to develop their unique artistic voices while mastering technical skills.
