Information About Zangmo Denise:


Personal Description:

I am a qualified Art Teacher, Creativity Coach and professional artist with specialist knowledge of Drawing, Painting, Digital Photography and Graphic Design. I offer tuition in all art media including pencil, charcoal, pastel, watercolour, oils, acrylics, collage, mixed media, digital photography and Photoshop. Everyone is welcome from absolute beginner to advanced, including those seeking exam coaching, portfolio preparation and professional development.



Teaching Experience:

I am a qualified Art, Craft and Design teacher with 28 years experience teaching all ages, levels and abilities in Schools, Colleges, in the community, mental health and privately. I have been teacher in charge of all the Art and Design Technology curriculum in a Primary School, have taught A Level Art and Photography to adults and have been appointed Reserve As Level Art Moderator by OCR exam board. I have also been a Visiting Lecturer in Painting and Creative Studies Lecturer for Eastbourne College of Arts and Technology. Recently I have been teaching art, meditation and digital photography in the community, and working privately in creativity coaching helping clients move on from stuckness blocking creative progress.



Tutoring Approach:

I aim to encourage students to experiment with different ways of expressing themselves creatively and to find their own, personal interests and individual style. Tuition covers both traditional and experiemental approaches. Depending on student needs and the level there is anything from very structured, step-by-step tuition on one hand to independent project work supported by in depth tutorials, gallery visits, DVD and research based learning on the other hand.

My own art work has encompassed both traditional, representational and experimental, contemoprary approaches. Interests in psychology, mindfulness meditation and art as therapy have led me to use art making as a means of self discovery, well being and personal development. This experience of working in and having Art Therapy, has inspired both my own creative work and extended the way I approach teaching.

I prefer to teach art classes in groups no larger than 4, in which a welcoming, friendly atmosphere can develop during the course and students get get more individualised art tuition. Structured art activities are balanced with encouragement to do your own thing, and art teaching methods include demonstrations, talks, discussions, step by step or experimental exercises, projects, homework, encouraging one-to-one guidance and outings, always with the option to do you own thing.

I also offer one-to-one art, digital photography and photoshop tuition at times to suit you, daytimes, evenings and weekends. You can have a session as little or as often as you want, and learn at your own pace.
