Your growth is my priority as your success is my case as an Art Educator.
So whether your goal is "drawing for myself" or "becoming better in my industry" I'm interested in growing students to a high level possible. The longer you are taking my art classes, the better I know your skills and goals, giving me more field to mentor your artistic development - something I am doing in the one-on-one mentorship sessions. I’ll also keep your goals in mind when preparing tasks for the group art classes in Vancouver, ensuring they align with your progress.
Often, students come with random information they got from different sources throughout their lives. I have a well-structured approach and very specific tasks for each theme. If you're serious about growing quickly and effectively, I recommend not missing classes, even if the themes overlap with what you already learned. You'll get a deeper understanding of the topic and additional tasks.
As I get to know my student's goals and skills better, I provide tailored recommendations for the areas where they are struggling (both in art and mentoring). I’ll point out the repetitive mistakes that are stopping your artistic development, the topics you need to work on, and when it's time.
Examples: There are no two cases that are the same! Some of the students need speed-up or creative expanding exercises, others need to train proportions or specific theoretical knowledge, and the third ones are ready to develop their style.
