• Responsible for teaching children in group of 4~5 across different age groups about various kinds of painting methods and art concepts as an instructor. Participated in both the regular lessons as well as the summer & winter camps which engaged with children and students.
• Prepared lessons and instructed by setting the theme, demonstrating examples, then guiding and supporting children to express their own ideas.
• Taught different painting methods and applied unique teaching styles for each age group:
  • 3-5yrs: Mainly taught clay sculpting, creative art, color pencil & water color painting, and basic acrylic painting. I mindfully talked slowly using simple language and more reference to demonstrate fundamental concepts and inspire their creativity.
  • 5-7yrs: Mainly taught studio art, marker painting, and intermediate acrylic painting. 
  • 12-17yrs: Mainly taught advanced acrylic painting. As the students’ comprehension ability are more developed, I included more theory instructions.
