1. How many participants can join a private lesson?
A private lesson is for one or two students. The two students can be from the same family or two friends from different families can share a one hour private lesson. The lesson time is scheduled together. Students can be ages 10 and up.
2. What topics are taught during a private lesson?
Private lessons can be customized based on your requests. If you want to learn how to watercolor paint, the lesson can be focused on that particular medium. If you have a new DSLR or mirrorless camera and you would like a basic photography lesson, you can choose that as your private lesson topic.
If you would like a variety of media and topics, you can choose one of the lesson series offered during that season.
3. Do participants need to bring any art materials?
No. Everything is provided, however, I recommend buying your own materials if you would like to work on projects outside of class.
4. How many private lessons can we sign up for?
There is not a set number required, so you can decide to schedule more than one based on how many projects you want to work on or learn about.
5. Is prior art experience required for the classes? No prior art experience is required. Since I take a detailed approach to my art processes, students who really enjoy making art will benefit. Students who have an aptitude for art will further their skill level through practice and learning new techniques.
