Sathyashree Durg

I am a Fine Arts graduate with over 10 years of experience teaching Art and Design Technology (D&T). Having worked as Head of Art and Design Technology in an independent prep school, I have extensive experience helping children develop their artistic skills, creativity and confidence.

My lessons are tailored to each child's age, ability and individual goals. Whether your child wants to explore art for enjoyment, strengthen their drawing and painting skills, or prepare for an Art Scholarship, I provide structured guidance in a friendly and supportive environment.

Students explore a wide range of materials and techniques, including observational drawing, pencil shading, painting, mixed media, clay and three-dimensional work. They learn about artists from different periods and cultures, experiment with new ideas and develop their own artistic style. I encourage children to look carefully, think creatively, take risks and learn from their mistakes.

I specialise in 11+ and 13+ Art Scholarship preparation, guiding pupils through portfolio development, sketchbook work, practical tasks and interview preparation. My aim is to help each child present their work confidently and develop the skills needed to succeed in the scholarship process.

I am also a qualified Bronze and Silver Arts Award moderator with Trinity College London. I support children in building their portfolios and working towards these recognised qualifications.

Above all, I want children to enjoy the process of creating art while developing strong practical skills, independent thinking and self-belief. Every child has the potential to grow as an artist, and I take pride in helping them discover what they can achieve.
