Philosophy on Art Education

Art is essential to the existence, celebration and continuation of society. Life is about learning more and thinking clearer everyday. In my classroom I expect the best from my students and myself at all times. My students will not only be learning about art, they will be learning self-discipline, respect for others, self-confidence, development, and habits of thinking, learning and discovery. I plan to challenge and nurture the creative energy of students while fostering enthusiasm on their part for personal discovery.

About Gabriel

What Our Clients Are Saying

I stumbled upon Gabriel's quite by accident 3 years ago, and it has been one of the biggest blessings in our families life. I sent my first child, a then barely verbal 3 year old without many social tendencies, and within a year he had blossomed into a talkative nearly on par with peers social little boy who loved playing with friends. They offered him an environment that was rich in play and sensory, with staff that truly wear their hearts on their sleeves and give our children unconditional love and acceptance and a safe place to learn, with no expectations set upon them except to be who they are.
