Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm Laura Brown, the Director/Founder and main teacher for senseofplace LAB.
ArtWell.studio empowers students to use art to support their wellness. My focus is on facilitating a variety of art processes for kids to express, support and understand themselves through art. Classes combine art with other disciplines such as architecture and urban planning. Art mediums include painting, drawing, sculpture, collage and digital art.
SEL is the process of learning social and emotional skills. It's just as important as learning reading and math. Social-emotional skills are essential for success in school, work, life. Students learn to manage their emotions, have empathy, solve problems, make responsible decisions and maintain healthy relationships.
My philosophy is to create an online education environment that feels safe, calming, and is focused on the needs of the student. I believe every student has innate creativity, and I'm very committed to supporting students to develop that. My interest is in empowering the student by letting the creative process fuel their individual interests and to support them to solve their own problems and challenges. Humor is very important! I love animals and are happy to have students have their pets nearby them as we work online.
I've been teaching for many years; in museum education, as an undergraduate professor and as a K-12 teacher in the public schools. I have a Masters in Art, have taken Teachers Certification training in Special Education in WA state, and am working on another Masters in Education with a focus on SEL. I have a special interest in working with neurodiverse learners, learners that have experienced trauma and LGBTQ learners.
