I have both a bachelor’s degree in musicology and a bachelor’s degree in art. In the past, I worked in an international school in Singapore for 3 years. I have 10 years of experience teaching art. My students come from all over the world, and I like to be with them very much. We paint together, create together, and share a happy time together. I have been working hard to let the children enjoy the fun of art. I encourage students to be creative in class. Use their imagination and creativity to express themselves by drawing and painting through the knowledge of sketching and color they have learned. I have put some of my works here, if you like them, join my art class together!
