Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from The San Francisco Art Institute
My name is Lynda Diamond. I teach art to children, teens and adults. My painting and drawing classes focus on exploring line, colour and content drawing objects such as flowers or fruit to abstract geometric shapes. My Art History classes explore the different ways art has evolved.
I hold a BFA in painting from The San Francisco Art Institute. I attended the San Francisco Art Institute as a scholarship student. I have taught children, teens and adults painting and drawing for sixteen years. As an independent teacher, I offer a variety of class options. These options are private 1:1 classes, one-day classes, ongoing classes, and Flex- classes. I have taught college-level painting classes at Nova Scotia Community College.
I have also taught ESL to kids in China for two years.
My art classes are always light-hearted in spirit.
I believe that learning to paint and draw is great fun! My art students always want to return to more classes because my classes are so enjoyable.
Here's an interesting note about me. I wanted to study with a great painter who lives in Norway. One day I flew to Norway. I luckily watched this master painter paint and learned so much from him. I will always be grateful for this experience and the skills I learned.
