Lilian Oloo Art & Design Teacher - IGCSE/A-level/BTEC/CBC
No reviews yet

Currently based in Qatar, I'm a trained and experienced Fine Artist and Designer. I have years of practice in pencil and ball pen art, painting (including 3D), ceramics, sculpture, and Fabric Design. Although these are my major areas, I also do and can coach/ guide in the rest of the areas in Art/ Craft/ Design.

I go through the works of every new student to gauge their artistic level and ability, to establish where to start with them. Once the ball is set rolling, I introduce a topic by demonstrating, after which I guide each individual student through the path we should all go.

In cases of group classes, we put up finished work for peer critiquing, as each points out what they like or don't about others' work. I then lead each to make requisite corrections on their own work, before we review again to get the final outcome. An artwork is never completely done – there's always room for more in another artist's eye.

I've employed this method in the schools where I have taught and and the results are awesome! I've received positive feedback from students, class teachers and parents, all alike.
