Teaching Philosophy
"To develop a complete mind: Study the science of Art; Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else."
- Leonardo Da Vinci
I believe that all subjects can be integrated with the arts. Art provides a different atmosphere. It's going to be fun, relaxing, hands-on, messy, exciting, challenging, and provide many other potentially new experiences. My goal is for students to develop a passion for art and a love for sharing their art with others.
Getting Started
I currently teach out of my home in Houston, TX. My teaching days and hours vary depending on student needs and availability. I offer a free consultation lesson for new students so that we can get to know each other before making any financial or time commitments. Please contact me to schedule your trial lesson and discuss possible lesson times and rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring my own art supplies to lessons? Yes, students should bring their sketchbook, speciality papers, drawing materials (pencils, oil pastels, colored pencils, markers), paints (acrylic/watercolors), and paintbrushes.
How much will I need to practice? Frequency of practicing is more important than duration, especially at the beginning. I recommend 10-30 min 5-6 days a week for beginners. Your practice sessions will grow longer as your stamina grows and your skills become more complicated.
What kind of art do you teach? I have my K-12 Art Educator certificate and most of my students will learn a wide variety of skills and techniques.
