Private Art Lessons | One-To-One Mentorship for Drawing
Class experience
What kind of drawings or themes inspire your artist? Being able to express an idea, vision or tell a visual story is a wonderfully satisfying skill to have for creative types. I believe anyone can learn these skills, and have fun doing so. The first lesson begins with the student showing me their drawings (8-10) so I can assess what level they are at, and what is the desired area(s) of growth. The remaining time for the first class would be spent on a few fundamental concepts in art...
Students will learn drawing fundamentals applied to their chosen content.
After receiving my diploma in Visual Communications at a Canadian art college (four year program) many years ago, I began my career as an illustrator. My work has appeared in a wide variety of publications, including five children’s books. I also recently taught university level illustration and Design Drawing for seven years. These courses covered the fundamentals of academic drawing, including perspective and figure drawing with live models. Students at the university (whether majoring in fine art or design/photography in their second year and beyond) were required to take drawing fundamental classes.
Homework Offered
The homework will be to complete the drawing or exercise started in the session and share it beginning of next class for review. Student will assess where they were most successful & what they struggled with the most. This will help me adjust future lessons to review some concepts, try it another way and move on to new ones.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
