About Me as an Art Teacher
With a background in Art & Design and years of experience as a professional artist, I share my passion for art through interactive and inspiring lessons. Since 2022, I have been active as an art teacher through schools and institutions in The Hague. My lessons combine creative freedom, techniques and art history to help students discover their talents and express themselves artistically.
My Approach
I start each lesson with a board or PowerPoint presentation in which I offer inspiration with images, art history and examples of great masters. I explain the technique or theme of the day and ask questions to stimulate students to think about art and their own interpretations. After this introduction, I guide the students in their own creative process, giving personal attention to develop their unique talents. A lesson usually lasts 60 to 90 minutes, and I can teach up to five classes in a row. This allows me to differentiate by age and level, so that the lesson remains understandable and fun for groups from group 4 to group 8. In this way, the entire middle and upper grades can receive the same lesson in one day, adapted to their level.
Offer
I offer art classes and workshops for both primary and secondary schools. I focus on creative freedom and personal interpretations, techniques such as light and shadow, paper mache and clay, and themes such as painting masters and art movements. My offer also includes stop motion projects and learning to draw portraits, art history and stylistic drawing, and challenging projects such as still lifes and mixed media. In addition, I offer special workshops such as clay and paper mache making and thematic projects on demand.

Practical Information
I work exclusively for schools and institutions in The Hague. My rate is €65 per hour including my own materials. There is a minimum of 3 hours per day. This provides a more in-depth learning experience and makes my work as an art teacher profitable. For extensive projects, additional preparation time and material costs can be charged, which will be agreed in advance.
Experience and Projects
Since 2022 I have been working as an art teacher through schools and institutions. Before that I gave private drawing and painting lessons to all ages. My participation in TV programs such as Sterren op het Doek, De Nieuwe Vermeer and that I have exhibited in the CoBrA museum I use to convey art in an accessible and inspiring way.
