Curriculum
My curriculum focuses on 'landscape drawing with oil pastels.' Students learn how to express natural landscapes such as trees, flower fields, mountains, sky, land, and clouds through drawings. They are encouraged to explore various colors and depict landscapes from their imaginations, dreams, hearts, or memories. Through art, they can find solace and peace of mind. Despite my limited proficiency in English, my deep passion for teaching art drives me to prepare and approach classes with the goal of fostering inner peace, not merely teaching art techniques. I genuinely hope that my sincere intentions resonate with every student.
