My name is Polina. I grew up in southwestern Siberia but in my adolescence moved to Switzerland and eventually found my home in the UK. I have a BA in Communications with a Minor in Sociology and a Diploma in Montessori Pedagogy. I have been working in the educational sector for over ten years. I believe in personal and professional growth. Therefore, I am currently furthering my qualifications by completing a Master's Degree in Art Education.

For my Capstone Project, I have created an art program that teaches children many aspects of human development. Through fun and engaging art activities, children can understand that we all have abilities to change and grow throughout our lives. We don’t only grow physically but also intellectually, linguistically, socially, and emotionally.

This program helps children to see how beautifully complex humans are and that we have many characteristics that define us. Most importantly, in each lesson children learn something new about themselves and they experiment to express it in the most creative way possible.
