About Me
Hi, I’m Bella.I believe art and design education can inspire children and teenagers to express their ideas and feelings creatively through various art elements, materials, and creative approaches. I want to be the inspirational art and design teacher who not only encourages children to express their ideas and feelings creatively and confidently but also uses art and design to discover their talents and interests to prepare for their future.
I’m an educator and artist based in London with ten+ years of experience in the art and design field. I have studied art and design in different counties – the United Kingdom, the United States, and Hong Kong, which led me to gain a wide range of art and design knowledge and techniques.
With the experience I acquired, I graduated from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design earning a first-class degree with my artworks exhibited in major museums and exhibitions, such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, Barbican Centre, British Museum, JOYA Barcelona Contemporary Jewellery Fair and Beijing International Jewelry Art Exhibition.
As an art educator, I have developed and acquired a wide range of skills in creative teaching methods through my 5+ years of teaching art and design experience which students and parents find my lessons full of joy yet challenging!

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.
I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.
I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.
In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.
You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.
Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

I have three years of experience in teaching at the university level, and I am always keen to work with you on the conceptual, artistic, and technical dimensions of your design projects no matter the scale. I can also work with you to acquire foundational design skills and prepare you for future studies.
Together we will touch upon:
1- The design process and tools. (e.g. conceptualizing, sketching, modelling, contextualizing, mapping, diagramming)
2- Aesthetic and practical considerations (e.g. expression, quality, human perception, climate, sustainability)
3- The spatial experience and how to materialize it (e.g. space and structure, flow and movement, materiality, detailing)
4- the modes of architectural drawing and visualization (e.g. plans, sections, elevations, axonometrics, perspectives, collages, layouts)

Crochet for beginners (Learn basics of crochet step by step)Crochet can be seen as a form of creative expression, as individuals can use these skills to make unique and personalised items. From intricate blankets and scarves to delicate lacework and hats, knitting and crochet offer endless opportunities to showcase creativity and individuality. It also helps to keep the mind sharp and stimulated, and improves dexterity. It is also known to promote a sense of calm and relaxation, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety. By focusing on the repetitive movements of knitting or crochet, the mind can enter a meditative state, providing a sense of mental and emotional balance.
