In these private lessons, I will use the subject matter to teach the student fundamental skills like dimension, shading, drawing from observation, color, etc. The longer we study together the more we can learn and the more in-depth we can go with each skill. We can discuss tailoring the subject to your student's needs.

My favorite subject to use to teach art skills is nature. I love using animals, plants and all things nature to learn the skills of drawing, observation, and the various art mediums for creating beautiful work. 
The basic foundation of my art teaching philosophy is overcoming perfectionism tendencies, and teaching kids to "fail well." Learning to fail allows students the courage to be willing to try. My favorite mantra is "Every drawing is practice for the next." Our lessons will incorporate the fundamental skills of art, but our greatest emphasis will be on the mental and emotional practice of becoming an artist who is willing to try, fail, and continually improve without fear or reservations.

Does your student love birds? We can use learning to draw and paint birds in different mediums to learn the fundamentals. 
Does your student love nature and want to learn to draw on Procreate? We can use the two together to create lessons perfect for their subject interests and their desired skill. 
Nature isn't the only subject we can study. We can study human form, portraits, landscapes, sketching city scenes, etc. 

This is a five, one hour class commitment. To sign up for a single hour private lesson, or for fewer than a set of five, please message me and we will set it up. 
We will discuss the materials needed for the course when we settle on the curriculum. My only preference is that students use a sketchbook or journal appropriate for their medium so that they have a single place where they will be working during our lesson and in between lessons.
