Class Experience

This class it designed to provide personalized assistance to young artists of all levels. 
I will meet my students where they are and help them improve at the fundamentals of drawing while showing them how to draw anything they may be interested in. 
A student will be able to choose a certain art style (anime, realistic drawing, art journaling, illustration), a medium (graphite pencil, coloured pencils, watercolour) or a subject matter (still life, landscape, portrait, figure drawing, animal drawing).
In our classes we will be discovering all the important aspects of drawing, such as composition, negative space, perspective, proportions, symmetry, contrast and much more. As a teacher, I always aim to create my art classes both fun and useful, trying to give as much information along the way as possible. My goal is not to just have the students draw along, but for them to understand what they are doing and why, so that they can use this knowledge and experience in their own art.
All the goals will be discussed prior to the the session, so that the teacher can tailor the class to your learner's desires and needs.
If a more complicated drawing is chosen and requires more time to complete it will have to be broken down into a few sessions (which will be discussed before the class starts)

Here are some examples of projects we can possibly work on in this class 

Drawing mythical creatures, a dragon.
Still life drawing.
Drawing various plants, intro to inking.
Magical landscape drawing.
Drawing a bird realistically.
Portrait practice. Expressions.
Architecture drawing, a Victorian house
Drawing a landscape with a retro car, practicing perspective
Drawing a turtle in the sea
Texture study, animal eyes
Figure drawing and character design

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree in Linguistics from Nanjing Pedagogical University

Hello! My name is Karina, I am a professional educator, artist and linguist. At this point, I have over 12 years of experience teaching students of all ages, both in-person and on-line.
I'm also proud to be one of the top art teachers on Outschool with over 7000 learners taking my classes since July 2020.

I was born in Ukraine in a family of teachers and I always wanted to become a teacher myself, gratefully my dream came true! I started as a private language tutor in Russia back in 2011, and since then I have been traveling around the world and teaching language classes. I'm a TESOL certified instructor with a BA degree in Linguistics. For five years I worked as a full-time English and Russian language instructor for language schools in China and Japan and it was an amazing journey of discovering new languages, meeting amazing people and learning how to approach students with different sets of skills and backgrounds. 

After living and working in Asia for over five years I came to Canada, where I continue to teach private and group classes, both in-person and on-line. 

Other than studying linguistics, I received multiple certifications from School of Fine Arts in Moscow and have been working as a professional artist since 2015. My artwork has been exhibited and sold all around the globe. In the past few years, I managed to successfully combine my passion for visual arts with my love for working with children to create unique, fun and educational art courses. I specialize in Realistic Drawing, Creative Drawing, Anime Drawing and Watercolour painting.

The most important thing for me as a teacher is to make my students feel supported and valued.  Each child has an awesome potential and discovering it together with my students is the greatest gift for me as a teacher.

I’m looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with my students.

Thank you! 
See you in the classroom!
