Instructor Heidi Robertson has a degree in Child Development and Visual Design. She has taught art workshops to many kids over the years, and loves seeing the deep insights that even small children can have while examining and creating art. Heidi uses her study of pedagogies in her teaching, including child-centered learning. She knows from her own experiences as a child that learning about art history can help even young children to fan the flame of their own creativity, explore healthy outlets for emotions, and find joy in life.
