Aregbesola A.O (JESSEY)

I was born on June 12 in the 70s. I had my elementary & secondary education in Ogun & Ondo States. I bagged NCE from FCE Osiele and BA. Edu from the University of Ado Ekiti, specialized in Painting, Graphic, & Art Education. 

Teaching Art in secondary Schools as been great and as well going through thin and thick experiences, while impacting the knowledge of Art into the students,

(especially the girl child) has been my greatest joy and as well exposing them to the wide range of World of Art. My priority is getting the best out of the students' skill, talent, and for lasting impression in their minds. I have taken them on excursions to Art museum, Art Galleries, Exhibition, and Competitions. They were also engage in extracurricular activities such as Cultural display and the activities of the Creative Art Students (CAS) in the environment.

I have also featured in various Academic group Exhibitions and am a member of National Association of Creative Arts Educators. Early this year, I was part of the Art teachers that exhibited online to commemorate the 2014 International Art Education Week.

I am glad to say that I have impacted Arts in the Life of Victoria Adaji, Lawal Abisola, Demilade Otayemi, Peju Oshin, Adeyemi Adesanya, Ben Bestina and many more.

Challenges am facing in Teaching include; Lack of materials, many schools have no Art studio, lack of encouragement from the government, Environmental factor, Students laziness, etc

ART IS LIFE!
