Information About Karina:
Personal Description:
I have a life long passion for art, painting and making.
I have been teaching art privately for over 10 years and established a small art school: Art Now - Banstead Art School which I have been running for 9 years in Surrey near London.
I have taught people of all ages (from 3 to 92!) and all abilities from beginners to assisting students to gain successful scholarship portfolios and coursework.
I have also facilitated many creative workshops such as theatrical life drawing and craft in different settings from schools to offices, public spaces and festivals.
******************************
Karina studied Art and Design at Chelsea Art College and has a BA Honours degree in Graphic Design and Photography from Kingston Univeristy.
After graduating, Karina co-ran creative, interactive public events for adults and children in London and Essex including monthly theatrical life drawing classes.
Karina has experience teaching and mentoring children of all ages including children with Special Educational Needs in school and out of school environments. Karina has an enhanced DBS certificate.
Teaching Experience:
Karina has since also trained in Permaculture design, Catalysing Active Citizenship, Creative Practice Facilitation and completed the Forest School Level 3 training.
She works in schools and runs nature connection workshops for adults.
Tutoring Approach:
I have an intuitive and relaxed approach to teaching, tailoring the method for each individual.
My classes usually cover:
~ The basic principles of drawing, painting and design and sometimes craft work such as clay, collage, or printing.
~ Setting activities which use the right side of the brain for seeing in new ways.
~ Experimentation with media and ideas to get comfortable with using imagination, making and creating using different tools.
~ Supporting each student to push their limits of what they believe they can achieve.
I encourage exploration of a range of media and topics are primarily lead by the students personal interests.

In our classes, students are free to explore their imagination, to play with and develop ideas.
Students are taught to master a broad range of quality art materials.
Students are encouraged to paint and draw the subjects that interest them in the media that that they enjoy using.
Group classes are mixed age and mixed ability and each student pursues an individual path of learning tailored to their own needs and interests.
These classes work as a wonderful basis for future exam success and/or a lifelong interest and knowledge of the art that surrounds us all.
