creatED: Creative Education for All
Hi, I’m Anna and I run creatED. I am a fully qualified teacher with over 10 years’ experience in pastoral leadership and as Head of Art across a number of the UK’s leading independent schools and British schools abroad.
creatED offers both GCSE and A Level Art as well as a variety of online projects, workshops, teaching resources and 1:1 tuition. My GCSE and A Level classes can be taught entirely online or through a mixture of online and in-person classes.
Within many Art GCSE and A Level courses students are closely directed as a group by their teacher and guided in a ‘step by step’ style through the creation of a portfolio. This often means they have little freedom or autonomy over their work. I feel strongly about doing this differently. I take time to get to know my students – their hobbies, interests, strengths and weaknesses – and then support them each in creating a portfolio that is original to their peers, reflects them as an individual and perhaps most importantly, becomes a project they are fully engaged with and enjoy creating. As well as painting, drawing, sculpture, textiles and printmaking, I have directed students through creating projects with a focus on comic book design, animation, fashion design, architecture, conceptual installation, land art, textiles, graffiti…. and many more!
As well as being a practicing artist and teacher, I am a home-educating Mum of two, and a child and adolescent mental health specialist. I have many year’s experience supporting families of neurodiverse children, those with SEND (particularly ADHD, ADD and ASD) and those struggling with mental ill health. I hold an MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health and am passionate about combining my love of Art and teaching with my knowledge and understanding of mental health and neurodiversity in order to make my courses truly accessible to all.
