My art teaching philosophy!

My thought :

When your child first rides a bike, someone should hold them from behind. At first, hold it with both hands, but later with one hand. Then, when your child gains confidence and pedals vigorously, you can simply place your hand on the child's back. And one day, your child will be able to ride a bicycle on his own without anyone holding him. I believe that being a teacher is like practicing on a bicycle. Students can't draw great pictures from the beginning. You may need a lot of help at first, but over time, children will be able to draw on their own without much help. Teachers just need to help students enjoy art the same way they enjoy riding a bike with confidence and happiness, just like practicing a bicycle.

Teaching artistic expression is not just about imparting knowledge; it's about nurturing creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love for art. By following a progression similar to teaching a child to ride a bike, educators can help their students become self-sufficient and passionate artists.

​Just as learning to ride a bike gradually builds a child's confidence and independence, nurturing creative expression in students is a process that involves mentorship and guidance over time.
