Joao

I am an enthusiastic, skilled and innovative Art and Design teacher and practitioner with 8 years experience in the educational system working in High schools and Colleges. I have a degree in Fine Arts and a Masters in ‘Moving Image and Sound’ which has given me a unique multidisciplinary grounding within the creative field. I incorporate this experience in my lessons and approach to the curriculum, particularly the use of softwares such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects. I am an expert in digital creative software and have developed a wide range of project briefs and resources in the fields of art and design. These resources are highly transferable to an Art, Photography and Graphic Communication context since most fields overlap in my teaching practice.
