General Information
* I am currently working on setting up a dedicated studio and classroom space in Moscow, hopefully in time for the 2024-2025 school year. Once that is in place, I will be updating my policy and tuition fees. I do expect to operate with the same measure of flexibility! Stay tuned for details!
I offer private lessons and group classes to locations within Latah County from 3rd grade (8 years) through high school. I teach children traditional fine art with focus on drawing, draftsmanship, and painting. I also include history, science, and math and their relationship to art.
My goal is to give students the tools they need to be successful and enjoy a life-long love of art. I believe art lessons should be fun and exciting, but also help build a solid foundation for whatever medium is chosen to pursue. Students will also learn how to problem solve, overcome challenges, and learn mistakes are just learning experiences. It is important to me to foster an environment that students feel comfortable and where they are not afraid or inhibited to put pencil to paper or brush to canvas. I teach small classes of no larger than 6 so that students can each receive ample instruction time, have questions answered, and receive needed help and encouragement.
Chose from the list of offered courses or private students can chose an independent course of study. Most courses can be adapted to different age groups, but some will be more appropriate for either younger or older students. I generally have private facebook class pages for more info, tips, and class information for students. Students can also feel free to post what they are working on or ask questions. For those who homeschool, I can provide weekly lessons plans for those needing a HS credit (although it's up to parents to manage progress).
If you are interested in private or group lessons, email me at [email protected] And I am always happy to answer any questions!
