S2 Ep2 What is it about art that enables us to thrive?

Natasha Nechat-Murphy is a dedicated and experienced primary educator with a First Class Honours degree in Primary Education Studies. Her career has taken her through various roles—from nursery nurse to SEN support assistant, teaching assistant, and now, primary tutor. She has contributed to published books and online magazines, sharing her insights with educators and parents alike. 

Drawing on her unique blend of classroom experience, research-driven insights, and a deep commitment to empowering young artists she crafts art curricula to inspire creativity and nurture a lifelong love of the arts.

Her dissertation 'An investigation into the attitudes and practices that shape children’s art and design experiences in the early years classroom', focusses on why art should begin in the early years, and asks whether an increase in age means a decrease in art interest.
