Throughout the class, I will have artists share their work with me to see their progress and ask questions as they arise. We will engage in respectful and relaxed conversation as we work.Class Experience
Each week will start with introductions and an overview of the design, patterns, and shapes for our optical art-inspired drawing. Artists will be shown live, step-by-step, how to compose the drawing. We will have fun composing a new piece with different combinations of lines and see how they come together for the overall design. We will also see how the negative space is equally important as the positive space! We may even add color! All learners work at a different pace and some designs may be more challenging than others. It is important to try new things so, let’s go for it! I know everyone will do their best. I always encourage opportunities for learners to share their designs and ask questions as they arise.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from UCLA
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from UCLA and spent my first 10 years out of college working with professional designers and photographers in the publishing world. I was exposed to an eclectic variety of art media and styles. I have always been drawn to abstract and graphic art, so I have enjoyed incorporating it into my own portfolio, no matter the media I used. I love how these designs play tricks on your eyes. It has been fun to learn more about these and now share it with new artists!
