If you take lessons with me you will have access to a multi-year sequential curriculum designed to get you scholarships for top Art Schools.

My Experience
I have years of teaching experience from one of the nation's top art high schools. I have had 7 students go on to get full scholarships from places like MICA SAIC KCAI and RISD. Dozens have gotten partial scholarships or have used their portfolio to stand out while applying to traditional 4-year programs. I have also had students that placed top in the nation in the Scholastic and YoungArts competitions. I have taught hundreds of beginner students how to draw.

Your classes with me:

Fundamentals
I firmly believe that anyone can learn how to draw. We will start with line. Our first lessons will be about building trust between your hand and your eye. You will be learning how to draw by learning how to see and to think. We will discuss perception and brain anatomy to dive deeper into the mechanics of drawing.

With 12+ years of experience, I have a long history of practicing visual art. Drawing and painting are some of my favorite practices, and I love helping others take what they see and express that through their own hands. Together we'll explore what it means to perceive and express through creative visual means!

So happy to have found Emilie! I work for a family with a four year old child who is extremely engaged in art and we wanted to find private lessons for her.

Will be scheduling more lessons and look forward to her being apart of my charges explorative learning!

Self expression through art is an amazing experience. It's personal on all levels.

The most fabulous thing about being an artist is that boundaries regarding creativity are non-existent. The artist is always in a state of learning. Art is a progressive practice that takes time to develop.

Materials are not included.
Materials needed are pencil, paper and a willingness to explore.

Drawing lessons will be assessed based on the individual's current abilities and their goals.

"Sergey taught me about everything I had questions about and also offered suggestions in helping me to better determine the best way to find the career path that is right for me. Rather than hard and fast lessons, it was an opportunity to spend time, one on one, with a professional and learn from his experiences what works and what doesn't."

"Today's art lesson with Dan was planned, organized, and given in a friendly, professional and very informative manner. He has excellent communication skills and his demonstrations are informative as well a fascinating to watch. As Dan's student, I was immediately put at ease by his friendly and energetic personality; I felt as if I were talking to an old friend and I left the lesson with a renewed enthusiasm for painting. I really feel as if I doubled my understanding and enthusiasm for oil painting in my first lesson with Dan. No matter what your skill level is, a few lessons with Dan will do wonders for your painting ability and you will enjoy every bit of the time you spend with Dan."

"She was absolutely patient and was able to work with and engage my son who has a learning disability. She did a great job making him feel comfortable and after only one session I could see his confidence go up as he continued to draw into the evening. She really enjoys what she does and it shows in the way she worked with my son."
