Head of Art

B.ed. Intermediate & Senior (Art + Drama)

I graduated as a B.ed Intermediate and Senior Phase teacher at Cape Peninsula University of Technology where I majored in Art and Drama in education. I am the current art teacher for Primary and Secondary students. This is my first year with Britannica and I enjoy working with such engaged and creative students. I have been teaching in China for the past four years and taught in South-Africa prior to moving to China. Art and teaching have been a lifelong passion and I hope to inspire the same passion in the students. In addition to focusing on Art and Design as a practical subject I enjoy collaboration and integration of other subjects. I believe that Art is a skill that can be taught and is not reliant on talent although passion and dedication is key to success. My main goal is to teach my students thinking and problem solving skills while developing their practical application of knowledge to their own work.
