About Joanna
Personal Description:
As a dedicated artist educator with over twelve years of teaching experience in a variety of contexts, I have developed a profound understanding of the benefits of instilling a love of life-long learning through art. I have witnessed how art as a universal language, has the potential to build bridges and break down barriers in a number of ways. For example, art can encourage the development of well-being in young people through exposure to different cultures and perspectives. As a result, fostering an empathetic understanding of others in conjunction with the development of the self as an individual and how to make sense of their place in a rapidly transitioning world.Furthermore, I believe in our current challenging times which is compromising the wellbeing of many that the practice of art and it's many benefits has an important role to play.
In two thousand and seventeen, I completed and gained a distinction in an Art Education Master's degree. Since two thousand and eighteen, I have been a studio holder at Magdalen Studios in Oxford, and enjoy and benefit from being part of an artistic and vibrant community in Oxford. I regularly exhibit work on a local and national basis. One of my most recent commissions was a participatory art project for Stowe National Trust park based on the river of Styx and for the London based Zulieka gallery to raise money for the NHS workers , exhibiting with other local Oxford artists and acclaimed artist Jenny Saville. In October 2020 - November 2020 I exhibited in an online group exhibition as part of the PhotoOxford festival 2020.
Alongside this, I am currently preparing a proposal for a part-time interdisciplinary PhD in art and education at Oxford Brookes University which I hope will give me the support and specialist advice to continue my multi-sensory video and installation visual research further.
After accomplishing a PGCE in Art education from Oxford Brookes University, I gained employment at Bellerbys International College in Oxford. Initially, I was the only Art Teacher here and took responsibility for student progression to a comprehensive range of creative degree courses. This involved teaching a wide range of specialisms such as painting, printmaking, drawing, life drawing, installation art, three-dimensional design, graphics, textiles, animation, and Photoshop. I have also successfully devised schemes of work and guided students through the art portfolio process in its various digital formats for their university applications often under pressured circumstances as the sole art teacher. Consequently, my students have been rewarded with places at top art and design universities such as UAL, Goldsmiths, Newcastle, Kingston, Kent to name but a few.
My breadth of experience in a formal educational setting is teaching general art and design from key stage 3 to 4 in state schools, key stage four and five in an international college. In a further education context, I taught contextual studies and 3D art to level three and four students on the UAL art and art foundation diploma. I have also had experience lecturing to undergraduates in a higher education context.
Tutoring Approach:
In these challenging times, my approach to tutoring is on an online basis. Consequently, I understand the potential issues of teaching in this format, such as being able to source materials and the intensity for student and teacher in this learning format. Therefore, I will adopt a bespoke approach that will enable the student to be able to take stock of their learning productively and practically. I will also provide alternative sources and methods of creating and locating appropriate materials which will be accessible to all students within the domestic space that most of us are working within. Alongside this, I will provide a variety of learning methods in this context that will enable the pace of the lessons to be lively, purposeful and engaging for each student.
As a personal tutor for the last seven years and an art teacher for eleven, I have enjoyed and understood the need to form and maintain appropriate relationships with my students on an individual and group basis. Students trust me as a non-judgmental, caring listener as they confide in me. However, I am always clear that if I feel that their safety or the well-being of others might be compromised, I will still take any of these issues to our welfare team or another applicable agency. I believe this is integral to the successful functioning of any educational community and the holistic needs of the individual student. It should be noted I am currently subscribed to the Government's update service for DBS checks. This means I have an updated Disclosure Barring Certificate, which states that I am safe to work with young people. Employers are able to access this if required.
