Art Classes

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle

Take your first step in becoming an artist

You don’t need to have extensive training to be an artist — you just need the passion to create. Art is about the journey and the process. Take the plunge and have fun!

Art classes are an hour long. In these classes, I will discuss techniques that will be valuable to any artistic medium. When teaching, I use my artistic experience as a professional practicing artist. I have my Bachelors of Arts degree, majoring in fine arts and art history from the University of Toronto. I have obtained my Bachelor of Education degree from York University. I also have my British Columbia teaching license through Teachers Regulation Board. Finally, I have 20 years of teaching experience in both the public and private school systems.

What can I offer you as an art teacher?

  • Private lessons for one hour: $70

  • Group lessons of 2-4 people for one hour: $ 45 per person

  • All lessons must be paid for in advance.

Producing art and being creative have many positive effects. The following are benefits for adults and children alike in creating art: stress relief; boost problem-solving skills; increase in creative thinking skills; encourages positive self esteem; improves the quality of life; increases brain activity, and promotes holistic healing.
