On Art and Learning, Expression and Experience

An atmosphere of kindness, ease and safety foster a free flow of expression, creation, adventurous discovery and self directed discipline that are more sustainable than traditional methods of education.

I believe that the teacher guides the student, but the student also guides themselves and the teacher…. and that motivations from WITHIN are the most powerful ones.

Learning fashion and design, creative education, are incredible arenas for self-discovery.

Whether learning patternmaking, draping, sewing, fabrics and textiles, making a portfolio, illustration, sketching technically or editorially, or learning music, dance, writing, movement, playing an instrument, any mode of expression  in our culture generally requires some space to heal and open up to new possibilities.

Which is the purpose of creativity in general! To generate life, to generate joy., beauty, harmony, curiosity, emotion, celebration, tradition, innovation.

To process and express is LIFE.

is culture.

I am passionate about the environments and outcomes of learning both as a student and as a teacher , parent, friend, etc.

You can get to know me more through these videos on the subject.

While I teach fashion design studies, I am also a musician, artist, mother, human just as any one of us, and I love to share my experience as well as hear yours.

Why? Because I am sure that we are on the brink of new forms for education, business, and sustainability and I can’t wait to see them take hold around the world.

I am a strong believer in family and community and envision a kinder world that supports families more than ever as technology brings us back home and facilitates small business and self-directed learning.

I hope you enjoy these videos and COMMENT BELOW to join in the discussion!!!!!!

Love always,

Laura
