I am so excited to teach and create art with learners here on Outschool!
Welcome to the Series of Classes -My Art Academia- Unlocking Creativity!
Under the right conditions, all children can become more creative thinkers, expressive artist and problem solvers. 
Drawing is one of the ways to unlock their creativity.

Unlock your artistic potential by learning to see like an artist and mastering the techniques needed to create modern and stylized anime characters. Dive into the world of character design as you explore the steps of drawing figures with understanding of human anatomy and proportions. With a strong foundation in understanding the human form, you'll be able to modify and adapt it to create your own unique anime characters. Let your creativity soar as you step up and bring something completely new to life.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY 

Picasso once said, “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” Teaching enables me to remain an artist, rediscovering new ways to be passionate about theater and art. My teaching philosophy is that all students must have a stimulating creative environment that will foster their artistic, creative, social, and intellectual growth. I approach each student individually by celebrating their specific point of view. 
My goal is to create a class that is never one-note or repetitive, but rather collaborative, interactive and dynamic. I want every student to have a meaningful experience in my class. 
In a safe, process-based environment I invite my students to learn through experimentation, share their ideas and discover the joy of creating art. I want to help students feel comfortable unlocking their creative voices and developing their talents.

Thank you for reading and I hope to see you in some of my classes!


-Founder and Art Prof Sanya -Sanja Manakoski:

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Costume and Fashion Design from University of Applied Arts and Design in Belgrade, and my Master of Fine Arts in Stage Design from Northwestern University in Chicago.

I've taught various art and design related classes for 10 years and I have worked with all different age learners. Aside from teaching young developing artists I am also teaching regularly at college level, such as Northwestern University. Watching students learn to discover and create with the help of my guidance inspires me a lot. I am an active professional multidisciplinary artist, and I have been costume designing internationally and in the US for the last 10 years. I also have experience in other design areas, such as film, fashion, makeup and illustration. As a result, I am able to share my first-hand experience, skills and knowledge that help students consider various creative opportunities and moreover the joy of creating art. 
For me learning never ends- as much as students learn from me, I am also the one who learns from them all the time. Being an artist and teacher is not just a profession for me, it is a way of life.
No prior drawing experience is required.
