About Melissa M.
Close
Lessons would be individualized to focus on areas that need the most guidance.
About Melissa
I have been teaching since 2006 on a variety of topics. I graduated with an BA from the University of Wisconsin. My degree is in History with and emphasis on East Asian history.
I've taught all age groups from age 2 up to retirees. My teaching experience includes one-on-one and group classes in a variety of settings. I've taught corporate classes, private lessons, small groups, and traditional classroom lessons.
We have a student-centric philosophy of learning. Lessons are generally relaxed and designed to work towards accomplishing student determined goals. While all students will study similar fundamentals regarding technique, theory, and performance, every lesson is as different as every person. Special focus on topics like music theory, self-accompaniment, composition, song writing, and home recording are available as well.
What are your personal goals? We'll tell you what you need to do to get there, and help you take the steps to achieve your aspirations.
Lessons with small children are more focused on just having fun while developing a good musical foundation, but we prefer for them to have as much personal ownership of their lesson as possible.

About Megan J.
Close
Experienced drawing teacher of 6 years and I have taught students of all experience levels! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of drawing skills. I specialize in figurative, portraits or animals and have the following tools available to use during lessons: paper, erasers, charcoal, graphite pencils, colored pencils and more...
About Megan
In my paintings I am drawn to the timelessness of the human figure. I find people to be my biggest source of inspiration. This appreciation extends also to the students I am honored to teach. I never quite know where the painting will take us and what skills will be honed to match the inspiration the student has, but on many occasions we both are wonderfully surprised by the results. As a teacher I feel I am most useful when the lessons inspire. The technique will come with time but it takes inspiration to get there!

She finds a strange balance between making cute Disney characters by day and planning out slashing people to bits by night.

About Madison B.

Hi there! My name is Madi and my passion has always been art. Half of that passion comes from creating my own works, but the other half comes from watching other people create! My past art education work has shown me that passion and determination, alongside practice, bring the best and most awe-inspiring results! With my help, you will not only learn new skills in the fine arts, but also learn to enforce the correct mindsets when learning new and challenging things. Let's create!
About Madison
I am a recent graduate from Loyola Marymount University! Yay class of 2017! I received several awards from my University for my excellence in painting, drawing, and figure drawing, and have been shown in galleries in Los Angeles and national competitions! I have been teaching all forms of art since high school (dance, singing, acting, drawing) , but my recent focus has been art education.
Through my own education and experience in teaching, I have learned the most important concepts my students learn are 1) determination, or the willingness to move forward despite setbacks, and 2) the "actual" skills of painting, drawing, sketching, portrait art, still life, and figure drawing. These are all core aspects when creating a base for artistry, and can be implemented when choosing a unique style for oneself going forward.

fter choosing what individual goals you wish to accomplish, you will be training these skills while also engaging with the historical background of these skills, such as the great artists who practiced them and the reasons to practice them. My lessons range from intro level to advanced level, and are catered to the student depending on experience and age.
I look forward to creating art together!

Review by Suzie
"I was interested in learning basic drawing as a hobby during my sabbatical. Madi has been giving me weekly lessons for the past month. I now have key bas
ic skills and have been exposed to a creative process where I can take my imagination and what I have learned from Madi to grow and pursue drawing as I continue my break. Madi is able to inspire me to try new methods and I now I really enjoy and look forward to continuing to draw. I plan to continue my lessons with Madi and am grateful for her patience and down to earth teaching methods. Her rates are very reasonable and well worth it. She is flexible with her scheduling and I appreciate her ability to also work in sessions with my children and for one time, a friend."

"Very caring and supportive. She makes you feel very comfortable. She takes her time to explain what we are doing and she makes sure you understand. The
lesson was done in such a way that I got a lot of information that made sense and did not feel overwhelmed. Her teaching style is geared to the individual. The hour went by so quickly. I would highly recommend her for lessons."
