Teaching and Learning Overview

I am a SACE registered educator who in the past decade has taught in a variety of secondary and tertiary institutions as well as offering private one-on-one art programmes and tuition. I am proficient (practice, theory and teaching) in the following mediums: ceramics, drawing, water colour, gouache and oil painting, mono-printing, lithography, screen printing, linocut and woodcut printing, both reductive and additive sculptural processes and the moving image (video and film).

In 2016 and 2017 I taught Visual Art and Design as well as Creative Arts full time to Grade 8 and 9 learners at the National School of the Arts; a Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) school of specialisation where I redesigned the grade 8 and 9 subject specialisation curriculum to provide better groundwork for Visual Art and Design (2D and 3D) in the FET Phase.

Research and Practice in Teaching and Learning in the Arts

I completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with distinction at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in November 2018. I have been exploring in practice the challenges and successes of the teaching and learning process in the context of art making with a range of different students and in January 2019 registered as a fulltime Master’s in Fine Arts student at the Wits School of Arts in the Department of Visual Arts with supervision from the head of the department Professor David Andrew. In January 2020  I exhibited a body of work titled How the Ornithologist Becomes a Bird; the perplexing spaces of teaching and learning in partial fulfilment of my Master of Arts in Fine Arts (MAFA) degree from the and submitted my dissertation in May 2020, graduating 11 December 2020 (with distinction) .

The dissertation was titled Pedagogies,Practices and Desires; the perplexing spaces of teaching and learning and I include a short synopsis of the research below:

This research project investigated experiential pedagogy, desires for becoming, belonging and loving and of showing by doing in spaces of teaching and learning. The MAFA by Research comprised a 25,000-word dissertation and an exhibition component comprising an installation of 70 works (film, paintings, drawings, sculptures) produced during the period of registration for the MAFA. The methodology for the artistic research drew on the emergent nature of practice, on conducting generative workshops with arts learners and teachers, and on foraging theoretical fields in order to create relationality and discourse.

The dissertation is divided into an introduction and conclusion and four chapters. Each chapter isinformed by one of the pedagogical holders that underpin multimodality pedagogy: situated practice, overt instruction, critical framing and transformed practice.
