Painting requires calmness and a precise eye. Children have to observe their surroundings closely and so as a result the ability to concentrate is trained. This in turn has a positive effect not only on paper, but in all aspects of life – including school and, in the future, your job.
Petra Burek lived and worked in the UK for several years and graduated as an interior designer before gaining several years of work experience in art, graphics, and interior design. She has been imparting her knowledge to children for years and has given also private art lessons. Her profile is rounded off by additional training and work experience in early child care.
“As a teacher, it is exciting for me to accompany the children in their development, as much as to receive open and honest feedback. It is a great privilege to be able to help directly to shape positively the future of our pupils. As an artist, I find my fulfillment in passing on and sharing further my talent and learned skills.
Creativity supports the development of innovative thinking in your child. As an adult, it is hardly possible to learn innovation – much more can only be nurtured and promoted in our childhood. It is about seeing yourself as an individual and being respected as such”.
(Petra Burek)
We promote the development of fine motor skills, the ability to concentrate, spatial imagination, coordination of hand and eye, and never less self-confidence. Painting is of great importance for the development of your child and promotes it on different levels. Your child trains his spatial imagination and thereby understands the relationships between the dimensions better. Responsible use of given materials creates good habits, as well as mindfulness and care. Creativity and imagination can be associated with the inner life of the child.
It seems to be a basic human characteristic to represent and share our experiences with others. We need to exercise our creativity and imagination and so represent our thoughts, impressions, and feelings.
Client testimony
‘When you do your job with passion, with heart and soul, only good things can happen.
That is the way in which Petra works with energy, passion, and dedication.
She is a fantastic art teacher, fun, and makes painting totally accessible even for the youngest.
My daughter (5y) and my son (2y) impatiently wait for the next class with Petra to come. She always takes into account not only the age of the child but also his/her developmental stage and current mood. Petra constantly improves her knowledge and skills concerning different art styles and techniques but also to the way in which kids could best benefit from painting and bring out their inner artists. In addition, her paintings are gorgeous. Petra’s studio is a creative oasis and I highly recommend her classes to everybody!’
