Atefeh

I hold a BA in Islamic Arts and a Level 2 qualification in Photography. I am a highly skilled teacher with expertise in both traditional and digital art techniques. My specialty is Islamic Arts and Design, which includes teaching how to design and draw patterns, as well as traditional painting techniques such as preparing canvases, making brushes, and creating natural pigments. These are rare and detailed skills that require dedication and hands-on experience to master and teach effectively.

I also have strong digital skills, particularly in Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, which I incorporate into my creative and educational work.

My teaching approach is structured around careful planning, consistency, and regular practice. I design my courses to run in 10-session formats, depending on the subject and the student's interest. By the end of the course, each student will have completed a finished art piece that reflects the skills they’ve learned.

I will soon begin my PGCE in Arts and Creative Education at the University of Bolton, which will support my goal of becoming a fully qualified teacher and allow me to continue improving my teaching methods.

Currently, I offer courses in the following subjects:

Geometric Design

Tezhib (Illumination)

Persian Painting

Pattern Design
