Let's Draw an Axolotl Character!

Hello!  I'm Mr. Kyle and I am passionate about teaching (and learning!) digital and traditional art.  

I graduated college with a B.A. in Psychology.  After graduation, I moved to China to teach at a school in Shanghai. There, I taught English, art, science, and social studies for three years before moving back home at the end of 2016.  Since then, I have been teaching online. Since 2016, I have spent most of my time outside of work seriously pursuing art.  I began self-teaching from books, then I moved to online learning, and finally studied at the Academy of Classical Design.  

I believe that artists need to learn the fundamentals of their craft to fully express themselves.  I teach the fundamentals of visual art in all of my lessons (implicitly or explicitly).  But, learning art should also be fun, so I dedicate the first half of each of my classes to learning, and the second half we have fun by creating art and applying what we learned.

Outside of work and creating art, I love traveling (I've been to over thirty countries!), learning other languages (I'm fluent in Spanish and speak Mandarin well), reading, and playing sports.
