Art and education are the two noblest achievements of humanity. They both promote the development of subtle and complex forms of thinking. The way we learn to perceive the world and the way we create, play the major part in human evolution. Art Education is directly related to our knowledge, skills and disposition. It enables us to perceive, interpret and evaluate life’s experiences in a unique way. Art educates the mind, elevates the spirit and consequently plays an essential part in the intellectual, social and emotional growth of every child.
My personal beliefs come from the knowledge of art history, Old Masters techniques, contemporary conceptual philosophy, and my own experience as a NJ public school teacher and an adjunct professor from Kean University School of Visual Arts, UCC, and Marymont Manhattan College.
I hold M.F.A. in Visual Arts from School of Visual Arts in NYC and M.A. in Fine Arts Education degree with Academic Honors and Distinction and Initial Certification from Kean University in Union, NJ. In addition, I hold B.F.A. /M.A.Ph.D.in Visual Arts, Printmaking and Illustration from Krakow Academy of Fine Arts in Poland.
