Dot art studio
In 2009 I created Dot Art Studio as part of my artistic practice and with the firm belief that art education stimulates innovation, creativity, and critical thinking. Dot's mission is to support children in finding individuality and strengthening their inner self through art making and art appreciation; in a safe environment where children can express themselves free of judgment. They are encouraged to experiment and engage in a creative process by playfully translating feelings, problem solving and risk taking; in which the result is a visual statement obtained by the exploration of different art techniques.
