Bio
Moksha Kumar
Miss Barbara Block is a wonderful, caring and understanding teacher. Creatively involved and wonderfully talented, she understands the needs of every artistic kid and gives her all into making them realize their artistic goal. Through her guidance and appreciation of my talent, I found a passion to follow all my life, without having to look back up on this decision twice. Being a student to this teacher involves being completely dedicated; which I would expect to be while involved so deeply with IB art. As a teacher and a mentor, she is an inspiration to many artists including myself. Batik work, painting, creating natural art from branches, leaves and twigs, singing, drama work are some of the many tings she loves to follow up on. Working tirelessly as a coordinator and teacher, she has the ability to enjoy her work and appreciate others for their efforts as well.
