Visual Arts Lesson Reviews from Students
Students are raving about their Visual Arts instructors on TakeLessons. Check out some of these recent reviews.
Review by Linda
"I have taken painting lessons from Nancy for several years now and I find her to be an excellent teacher. The classes I have taken are drop in, where you
work on whatever type of painting you like. Some people do portraits, others do still life and others do landscapes.
She is very helpful and easily identifies what does not work and gives you the tools to fix it. She makes suggestions on how to improve paintings so that you end up with a work that you can feel proud to hang, sell or give as a gift."

About Tayra L.
CloseAbout Tayra
Hello! I'm an experienced Writer, Illustrator & Designer.
I've been working as a private teacher and tutor for about 5 years. I have experience tutoring in English language, grammar, and literature with a specialty in creative writing, essay writing, and visual arts. I have a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts. From digital art to fine arts, I'm a jack of many trades. My students range from ages 5-18. I believe that there are multiple ways to learn and, therefore, I believe each of my students has unique needs and interests.
To make learning more exciting, I enjoy creating custom lesson plans tailored to each individual students' needs.

Above all, I love literature, design, illustration, and writing and incorporate it into my everyday life. It really is something I love doing, which is why I'm happy to teach my s
tudents and help them discover what they love about whatever it is they are interested in. Not sure? I'll help you figure it out. Being interested in multiple subjects is okay too!
Besides my love for design and literature, I love teaching. My proudest moments have involved my students accomplishing their personal goals, including becoming more proficient and confident in speaking English and getting into the college of their dreams with an amazing essay! Getting to know a new student is just as important to me as designing and preparing lesson plans.
I want to learn about you so that I can help you learn in whichever way you choose.
Throughout my years in school, I learned how important having the right teacher is. I believe that great presentation is the key to invigorating learning. I help my students find a fun way to reach their toughest goals.
Any questions? Don't be afraid to ask! :)

About Mariana Z.
CloseAbout Mariana
I am a professional artist. I've been studying representative fine art at the Art Students League of New York since 2013.
My students can expect to improve week to week in their drawing and painting techniques. While gaining knowledge of the fundamental principles of perception—light, plane-structure, tonal value, perspective, proportion—students will learn to construct images that realistically and accurately interpret objects in space. This solid foundation will enable students to express their personal creative vocabulary more clearly and effectively.
I teach students of all different ages and experience levels.
My personal passion is realism in classical and contemporary art but I firmly believe that great technique is essential to any and every style. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to become a better artist!

About David L.
CloseAbout David
I have a bachelors degree in printmaking and oil painting and spent some time in Florence, Italy studying painting and drawing by studying the High Renaissance masters. Currently I draw and paint in my spare time. I love teaching art as a way to connect with other artist and creative people who like talking about and creating art.
Through introducing or reviewing the fundamental principles in art and applying those to the lessons and exercises I assign for after class hours, you’ll see yourself improve week after week and gain more confidence in your artistic ability. I create a custom syllabus for you to review and work in things you’d like to try, certain mediums or subject matter to make it more appealing to you.
Making art should be fun and restorative! I’m very flexible in meeting your needs and speed at which you want to learn.

About Isabela D.
CloseAbout Isabela
I'm an enthusiastic learner even after 19 years of formal education (two Masters, one Bachelor) earned on two continents continued by US military education in various forms, and formally tested student who needed to document skills that were not formally captured on paper (like the foreign languages I know).
I love interacting with people and pass on my knowledge from five visited continents, instill love for learning and continuous curiosity for any subject out there. Nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it. Failing once doesn't mean that you'll never win (proof in my athletic years and life ever since); determination, hard work, self-motivation and a good supporting system can bring to reality even the most insignificant dreams that we believe may not come true, and especially those in which we passionately trust.

lieve in breaking down a goal into objectives, assigning tasks to each one of them, and then sticking to achieve them.
I'm a Certified Instructor with the Department of Homeland Security. My hobbies include practicing foreign languages by speaking them, learning about cultures and slangs, etymology, watching foreign movies, traveling internationally, taking photos, reading (a lot), carefully planning with room for error and impulsive decisions (to take the boredom out of things), meeting with life long friends, drawing, painting, and spending time outdoors for inspiration.
I'm elated at the opportunity of brainstorming with you and giving you tools to be an independent learner.

About Jayla E.
CloseAbout Jayla
Welcome :)
When I was young, I was a fairly shy child. When I was introduced to art, it helped me out of my shell and allowed me to blossom into the person I am today. As I grew, I've learned a wide variety ort mediums to help me express my emotions in different ways. Soon becoming advance in, drawing, painting, animation, realism, writing (spoken word, poetry, rap etc), and proficient in digital design and multimedia. By the time I was 13, I had begun my journey of giving back by helping others learn to express themselves through different forms of art. Holding classes at summer camps and various branches of libraries in the DMV Area.

Hey! My name is Megan and I've been teaching graffiti classes and lessons for the past few years. For 3 years I was a studio assistant to one of today's top graffiti writers where I gained a wealth of knowledge and skill. I have been doing graffiti professionally for over 7 years now. I love teaching and sharing my knowledge of graffiti with students who are interested in learning about it. It's not something that is easy to learn as there are very little outlets. I am excited to change that and allow children/adults the opportunity to learn a new skill they are excited about!
