About me

I am an art educator and artist with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky KPI,” where I studied with a focus on book illustration. My professional journey has included work in art galleries and studios, as well as in preschool settings, where I was especially involved in creative and art-based activities.

 

I believe that in art education, while the final result matters, the experience and growth gained through the creative process matter even more. Art gives children an opportunity to explore, engage their senses and imagination, develop flexible and original thinking, find new solutions, refine fine motor skills, understand and express their emotions, and become more aware of others' feelings.

 

In SchoolNova, I want to contribute to a classroom environment where there is no “bad drawing” and no “I can’t do that” — only opportunities to experiment, discover, and find your own way of expressing an idea.
