Visual Arts Lessons in Lanham, MD. It's your time.

Illustration and Cartooning are a great way to expand drawing skills and creativity.

First thing I do before first day of class is send out an enthusiastic email and call shortly after. Briefly discussing and establishing the learning goals for the course based on the visual literacy,technical,and intellectual competencies the students should achieve by the end of a period is ideal for me to design the course or update an existing course for the student's desired outcomes.
