WHY Dina LOVES TEACHING PAINTING
Dina enjoys meeting new people and enjoys sharing her talent with others. Everyone can be creative if they take the time. Dina wants to help build confidence in both children and adults as all they really need is encouragement! Adults especially seem to struggle with creativity; as we grow older many people loose confidence in their creativity, feeling they don’t have the skill or they aren’t artistic. Classes should not be intimidating. It’s not about being ‘an artist’. Its about unleashing creativity and using imagination!
It’s fun to go and help people who may have never painted or think they can’t do it. Check out all the amazing paintings created by these students ! They were committed and it’s always surprising to see the various styles people come up with on their own.
In 2014 she was asked to teach a Paint Your Pet class for adults and really enjoyed it! This inspired her to teach a series of Pet Painting Classes for Adult Education in 2015.

Children use their imagination and are naturally creative. Interesting to see the ideas they come up with! Here are some oil drums they painted:
