Mioara Barcutean’s Artist Statement

I am a Visual Artist and Art teacher located here in Bolingbrook. I have years of experience teaching a range of Art and Design activities in the area, helping form children’s aesthetic and artistic view, stimulating creativity and developing children’s passion for arts and design. I teach children basic painting and drawing techniques such as working with lines, dots, finger painting, origami, pulled cardboard prints and basic structures of a portrait, as well as basic color-theory and rules of composition.

Between 1999 and 2007 I taught simultaneously at the two National Colleges in Fagaras, Romania, students aged 7 to 19. Following the national syllabus, I adapted the textbook lessons according to student age and interest with the aim to provide an accessible and enticing introduction to art theory and basic drawing and painting techniques. I developed compulsory activities such as exhibitions with students’ works in school and in various institutions of the city, participated in local, county, national and international contests and I created teaching posters and school activities posters. I volunteered and organized extra-curricular activities with students, such as theatre performances - designed the scenery and costumes for a group of 25 students. I am fluent in Romanian, English and French. Intermediate knowledge of Italian, Basic Russian.
