During my time teaching in Abu Dhabi between 2012 - 2014 I taught elementary level students from grade 1 - 5. I found looking at art through such young eyes an amazing experience. Children at this age see the world through a lens of optimism and magic, they feel no fear and let their imaginations run wild and free making it effortless to create beautiful and creative visual work. Ultimately these young students taught me as much as i taught them.
