Many of us carry stories about art. Perhaps we were told we weren't artistic, lacked talent, or simply stopped creating because we didn't think we were good enough.

Yet our beliefs about creativity influence the way we engage with visual arts experiences, the opportunities we provide for children, and the confidence we bring to our teaching.

This webinar explores how educators can strengthen their identity as art makers and, in turn, build confidence in visual arts pedagogy. Together, we'll examine how personal experiences, beliefs, and self-efficacy shape practice, while exploring practical strategies that support creative confidence and growth.

Through reflection, discussion, and practical examples, you'll discover ways to reconnect with your own creativity, embrace experimentation over perfection, and create environments where both educators and children can thrive as capable and confident creators.

What you'll take away:

• A deeper understanding of how personal experiences and beliefs influence visual arts practice
• Practical strategies for building confidence and creativity through low-risk artistic exploration
• New ways to model curiosity, experimentation, and creative thinking with children
• Approaches to fostering a culture where educators and children see themselves as capable creators
