Instructors
Artful Minds takes great pride in working with an exceptional team of instructors who possess a wealth of experience in working with children; instructors that are not only passionate about art but also dedicated to unlocking the full creative potential of each child they work with. They all have a deep understanding of child development and the unique needs of young artists.
This exceptional team of instructors is led and trained by the visionary mind and art professor Sara Masinaei, and the seasoned child and adolescent psychoanalyst Dr. Mehrdad Naghibi-Rad. Under their expert guidance, instructors not only expand their artistic skills and techniques but also gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the world of child psychology.
All instructors are equipped with a rich repertoire of teaching techniques tailored to engage and inspire children of various ages and backgrounds and the ability to seamlessly blend artistic instruction with cognitive development and fostering holistic development while inspiring a love for art. They possess the expertise to kindle curiosity, nurture a passion for art, and inspire children to think outside the box. Through their teaching, children are empowered to express themselves creatively, building confidence and a lifelong passion for artistic exploration.
All instructors possess exceptional communication skills, patience, and a genuine passion for working with children. They create a warm and supportive atmosphere where children feel comfortable expressing themselves and taking risks in their artistic pursuits. With their guidance, children not only develop their artistic skills but also build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
“Art holds the transformative power to nurture personal growth, foster boundless creativity, and empower young minds, helping them to explore, create, and forge meaningful connections.”
