Oradell, NJ Drawing Lessons

I've been drawing my whole time practically, and it's something that I always want to be doing more. Whether it's looking outside at the still landscape, or recreating a moving scene, drawing has always been a passion of mine.

I can help you with putting what you see in your mind onto paper more genuinely. We'll work on perspective, scale, color gradients, shading, detailing, and much more.

For as long as I can remember I've been drawing in my free time. After going to Art school and learning how to draw on a professional level, I took note of how I was taught how to draw and am very confident on teaching you how to use a wide variety of tools to draw a wide variety of things.

I graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in June 2007 with a Master in Education (Arts in Education) degree. During my studies I worked in the framework of the Artful Adventures Program (Museum of Fine Arts in Boston), which provides object - based learning and hands on artistic experiences for elementary and middle school kids. My own research was about “Creative Insight in Practice" and "Acquiring English as a Second Language and Developing Self-Esteem through the Idiom of Art". I have more than a two decades-long experience in painting, drawing, printmaking and installation work.

We will learn how to draw from real life/still life to paper with graphite, ink or charcoal. We will understand line forms, shading styles and line control. We will gain a strong foundation understanding of using basic shapes to get final images.

Drawing is a skill, that anyone can learn! I have studied drawing for over 6 years and minored in visual arts in college. Whether you have experience or none at all, I personalize each lesson to maximize your growth as an artist.

If you have ever desired to draw like Michelangelo or paint like van Gogh, I can teach and reveal to you the logic and intellect behind drawing. Through lessons of perspective and measurement, you will soon experience how seamless and easy it is for anyone to draw--that it is a natural and joyful way to express yourself and release your inner creativity. I have been an art teacher for 5 years, teaching children and adults of all ages as an adjunct professor, high school art teacher, and director of an elementary after school art program. I hold an MFA in painting and am a practicing artist. I have a very patient and calm presence and a fun disposition. I am excited to share with you my love and passion for art making.

From my drawing lessons one can learn the basic to advance level of various techniques, applications, from human figure to various object study and also landscapes. Students can learn the process of shading and lot of information about variety of drawing materials. My specialty is drawing with charcoal on canvas, it looks like a finished painting. One can also learn how to use the water based fixative on canvas.

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.
