All successful artists need solid drawing skills. I always loved drawing – since I was 2 years old, as my Mom tells me :). I remember going to Mommy and Me classes in the museum of Arts with my Mom at the age of 4. Ever since then I am always drawing something, doing some arts & crafts and decorating (besides my full-time job as an Architectural Designer). I was studying in Art school during my middle and high school years. It was an amazing time, full of creativity, inspiration and collaboration among our teachers and us. We had History of arts, Composition basics, Graphics, Watercolor lessons, Crafts DIYs. Our trips to the Zoo during summer months will always stay in my memory as the first time learning about animal life, as we had to draw different animals in groups and one by one. I continued drawing in the university as a part of my Architectural degree and is very grateful to all my teachers for showing us the main principle of any art project that we were doing. After moving to the USA I enjoyed the time I could spend on my drawings as well and is trying to polish my skills all the time. “Art is 99% of a patience plus 1% of a talent” – this is what my first teacher in the Art Schools was telling us all the time. “Successful artists and architects – are the ones that were very persistent and patient”. I remembered it and now is trying to teach it to my own students!
I am also giving my 5 years old son the opportunity to really enjoy art & crafts lessons that we have with him and not be intimidated by it.
The lessons plans that I developed for my classes are easy to follow, easy to understand, and easy to do! It really doesn’t get any better than this! My program offers you the chance to increase your children’s self worth by exposing a talent that they perhaps are unaware of. My students are so proud of every lesson that they complete and honestly I’m shocked at their abilities!
