Teaching Philosophy In my work I emphasize the relevance of object making in contemporary art and design. Introducing students to the basic sculptural processes is part of my vision. Students will develop technical skills within each project while exploring their ideas. I am committed to helping students understand the traditional methods and basics of object making before moving into the other genres of Sculpture. Developing three dimensional skills enables students to concentrate on a variety of contemporary concepts. I want students to work without limitations. Strong three - dimensional skills will enhance all facets of creativity and learning. In the creative process sculpture is an advanced way of thinking. I excel at introducing students to a wide range of sculptural techniques and processes. Metal fabrication, woodworking, mold making, casting, and carving are areas I introduce and encourage. I organize the studio to facilitate this kind of experimentation forgoing other less complicated alternatives.
