EXPERIENCE CYNTHIA CASTELLANO THE TEACHING ARTIST

Visual Arts Specialist and Paraprofessional

I'm an Artist and an Educator who specializes in storytelling, Character design, Traditional Animation and Fine Arts, with working knowledge of theater. I graduated from School of Visual Arts in May of 2013.

With quality experience as an Artist and in being an employee for the New York City Department of Education, excellence is guaranteed. It is a privilege to be an Artist and an even greater one to help raise up the creative minds of the next generation!

My Story

PERSONAL ARTISTIC JOURNEY.

Once upon a time, I was a self taught Artist and like a Cinderella story The School of Visual Arts saw my potential. It truly was an amazing experience to learn from Artists in the field. It makes me happy to be able to share my passion with others in the same way my professors and instructors had done with me. I’m a patient, adaptable, and a professional Artist/Teacher ready to help you reach your goals. I give everything my all and I never hold back because I am very serious about student learning. My lessons apply to life as well as academic subject matter.
