Brenadette AcuriaInnovative Artist . Passionate Teacher

Personal ObjectiveI wish to teach children the history of art and how to create art using various mediums. MMost importantly I will teach them how to think like an artist and give them the tools to create their own masterpieces driven from the passion, curiosity, and skills within themselves. I will guide each child through their dedevelopmental journey and I will inspire and encourage each one of them to be the unique artist they are meant to be. .
