Ms. Cheryl's Teaching Style
Kids are my fuel! I love them dearly, all of them. Even the difficult ones. Sometimes I seem to love them more!
My approach to teaching art is to use it as a tool to empower my students as individuals by encouraging them to see the world in a detailed way, focusing on the shadows and colors that create the depth and beauty of nature.
Children who face challenges in academics can gain tremendous confidence by acquiring skills in art. This newfound confidence can have a positive influence on how a student approaches more challenging subjects. As they become proficient in a skill and see their work come to life, they begin to realize they can determine how they tackle future challenges. The realization can be life-changing for a child.
Bio
I have been an artist my whole life. I believe my Heavenly Father kindly gave me this gift. It has always been apparent to me. As a child, there were times when I would sit down to draw and somehow had the skill to create things without having done them before or been shown how. I have always been amazed and thankful that I could do something on my own that brought me so much joy and peace. How could you not want to share that with little children??
Art has carried me through some of the most difficult times of my life and taught me that even though I struggle in some areas, I know I can succeed if I follow through and trust the process. That's what art has taught me!
I managed an art studio in Carmel Mountain from 2017 until 2021. During my time there, I developed and led art programs for children aged 4 to 15, and taught several classes myself. In 2021, I decided to relocate to my private studio after my husband Brian and I purchased an 8-acre property in Valley Center, which included a beautiful barn and guest house. I started offering classes and summer camps in June 2022.
