Hi, I'm Jaime C, I come from Seville, Spain. I teach around 300+ G1-9 students.
I'm the Visual Arts teacher at The International Montessori School of Beijing (MSB).
I started this site as a way to share my lessons, different sites, ideas… with all of you. Some of the work that you find on this site are original ideas, some others are inspired by other teachers but with an original touch.
The lessons are designed to boast critical thinking habits, improve collaboration and participation, grow creativity and develop communication skills through creating, writing, and talking about art, with an emphasis on studio habits.
We work pretty much every art medium, drawing, painting, constructing using recycled materials, clay, pottery, etc... We also make at least, one project a year with different guest artists that come to the school as a guest. And we make few collaborative murals a year !
-----------------------
Things I love: This is a never ending list but the main things I love are... Dogs, music, to ride my bike on late late nights, art (obv), how fun children are, food, to see how many creative people there is on the World. I feel so lucky because I have been working shoulder to shoulder with some of those creative minds.
Things I don't love: To be stuck in a traffic jam when you are in a rush.
Secrets: I am a chocoholic.
Facts: I studied Arts at the University of Seville and also got few other degrees that might be a bit boring to hear. This is my 11th year in Beijing and I am loving it!
