Westlake Village, CA Drawing Lessons

I am an expert at line drawing. I do not specialize in realism drawing, but in animation instead. I can teach basic shading ton help your drawings stand out. I also teach how to color or paint your drawings and characters to make them more diverse. I would be happy to meet all of you.

Learning to draw is the best foundation for any artist. I teach my students through various techniques and assignments to understand form and spatial relationships. This tool is what many artists refer to as the ability to "see." This will not only improve your accuracy but your overall skills as an artist in other medias also.

I've been teaching art - drawing for 4+ years and my students have gone on to be successful at many different types of art. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to draw many different subjects freehand. Students must have access to the following tools available for your lessons: sketchbook, pencil set, eraser. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I've been drawing all my life and still enjoy it. It's a great pastime and a creative way to express yourself. You'll need, pencils, large pad of paper and to keep a sketch book for this class.

I am currently the Visual Arts Teacher as well as the Director of Advisory at Northside Charter High School in Brooklyn, NY. I have helped develop the school’s culture significantly over the past five years I have been there.

My mission at Northside Charter High School was to create a curriculum that shows our students that their presence is essential to the ever-changing arts community. This led to creating the curriculum for Northside Television, which is Northside's first web-based school news network. NTV has grown to become a staple in Northside’s community and has brought about positive changes to the culture of the school. My master's thesis based on this course entitled, “Media Production and its Role in Preparing High School Students to be 21st Century Learners”, provides data on how our program has brought new skill-sets to the senior cohort. Students of all backgrounds are on the screen and are representing their community, their ideals, and their concerns.

I have been drawing for my entire life, I have great knowledge and understanding of how to work a pencil and paper together to make some beautiful works of art. I will teach you what you need first before I teach you what you want, the reason behind this is so I can teach you the basics of drawing. It's like building a house, you need the right materials and floor plan before you can start working.

The world of drawing is large and can be approached in many different ways, and I am eager to help artists reach their full potential. From rendering the human form to techniques in wet and dry media, I am here to help guide begining/intermediate/ and advanced students how to warm up and prep for a rewarding drawing experience. No matter your background with art, I have approaches to help my students become skilled in this medium. I am flexible at both being a guide for a specific vision of my students, or I can share with you masterful techniques that will turn your drive and talent into a true gift. Please reach out, and we can explore your new passion together.

My lessons are fun and interesting. I teach drawing on the Right Side of the Brain incorporating Art History. No matter what level, I will teach you how to draw beyond your wildest dreams. If you're a beginner, I will take you out of that childhood drawing and push you to draw like Picasso.
We start with a simple self portrait of yourself and your childhood landscape (e.g. family, dog, cat, trees, sun, all looking in front of your family home) and soon move out of the two-dimensional, to the third-dimensional. From there we will cover perspective, line, shade, value, tone and composition.
I have a great way of teaching through the right brain-mode, and you will learn about art as we draw as you will be drawing directly from the masters.
