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 the basics, line, colour and content, drawing objects such as flowers or fruit to abstract geometric shapes. My Art History classes explore ways art has evolved and influenced our lives. My Digital Arts classes focus on learning basic Digital tools while creating exuberant Digital drawings and paintings.
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 one-day classes, weekly ongoing, eight-week courses and now Flex classes too! I often teach art privately One-on-One, drawing, painting and Digital Art. My private One-on-One courses are created to fit the individual needs of each student. I taught college-level painting and Drawing classes at Nova Scotia Community College for two years. In Nova Scotia, I taught painting to adults directly from my painting studio for twelve years.
I taught online ESL and drawing 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.
I am now teaching Art History classes too! I am uniquely qualified to teach Art History as the techniques I use in my art-making come from great artists from the past.
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. Luckily, I watched this master painter paint and learned much from him. I will always be grateful for this experience and the skills I learned.
While living and working in New York City as an artist for sixteen years, I created a fashion design business to help with my New York City expenses. The focus of my fashion design business was Millinery (hat design). I designed and produced Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall collections.
