Teacher
Yoon
I go to International Christian University in Tokyo, studying Psychology and Philosophy. I’ve been actively involved in photography and pottery for many years, and I love being close to art creation processes in general. I also love children, having worked with many different age groups from elementary to high school through school programs or part time jobs. Through Be Art, I hope to help empower and learn from childrens’ creative expression.
