Andrew

BA (Hons) First Class Graphics, Illustration, PGCE, and Art Teacers Diploma

I have over thirty years of experience in leading UK and international schools. I will show you how to match your creative ideas exactly to exam criteria and allow you to have a confident understanding of these expectations. By connecting your art to the work of relevant professional artists and designers I will support the creative development of artistic potential and self-confidence. I have an encyclopedic knowledge to move artwork to resolution in the best practical ways, backed by clear and accurate contextual research.
My students tell me I am patient and considerate, that I listen, and show them that in art you do not have to be serious all the time, you can relax and have fun, but you must be serious-minded.

About Me

I am somewhat of an art and culture obsessive, spending free time in museums, at contemporary art events, and watching movies. My partner is composer of contemporary classical music so occasionally I am able to use my ears too, but remain ostensively in the same art world. I have two sons and a step-daughter. They work variously with film animation and technology.
I have a compassionate outlook and a vegan diet.

Tutor Experience

I have extensive experience supporting individual students in study for a range of visual art and design qualifications including A-level, IBDP, IGCSE, GCSE, AP (art history), essay writing, as well as portfolio preparation for admission to UK and US BA and MA art, design, fashion, and architecture courses.
For strategic learning on-Iine I developed innovative methods to link teaching between schools in Shanghai and University in the U.S.

Topic Expertise

I have versatile practical skills in traditional media, such as sculpture, drawing, painting, process photography and intaglio, relief and screen print. I also often work with sound, performance, digital images, and video. Beyond dynamic practical skills I have an extensive and deep knowledge of the history of Western art as well as contemporary and modern art from South East Asia.
I am able to express dense art theory in simple terms and have written extensively for specialist art platforms on-line and in print.

Testimonials

I just wanted to thank you for encouraging and letting me explore art during class, if it wasn’t for you and all that crazy work you let me do I wouldn’t be where I am today. I still remember that huge graffiti canvas with the white pattern over it that you suggested I add, someone actually bought that painting from me and that was the first work of art I’ve ever sold!
