Teen Drawing & Portfolio Development
SPRING 2020
While We Shelter in Place
All classes and events at the
Spruill Center for the Arts are postponed through the end of April. Spruill's Education Director and staff are working to reschedule
all Spring classes and will be in touch regarding new dates.
Several Instructors are providing Virtual Classes in lieu of our being able to meet in person. My Teen Virtual Classes (ZOOM CLASS) listings are below
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we
work through all of this.
PRIVATE STUDENT PROGRAM
I am often asked and usually am able carry’ 2-4 private students
year-round. Presently I have one private student with 2 more
starting in January 2019.
I meet weekly with my students, year-round, at the student's home.
My rates are reasonable and do represent a serious commitment on both our parts to the process. My class meetings are usually 90min.
I charge $60 an hour & $80 for 90min- when paid monthly-**.
90% of past student's classes were 90 min in length.
(*I invoice before the start of each month. there is a $5/hr supplemental fee when/if classes are paid weekly)
During our meeting time we review: work assigned, accomplished successes, future challenges, present topics, school assignments, A/P requirements, many other artists works to keep students aware of what is being created in the art world, here and abroad.
My class is designed for students who're interested in ultimately taking their creative ability and drawing skills to an higher level and who want to advance within a friendly 'studio environment'.
Demonstrations and critiques are apart of the weekly scenario. In short, a private class consists precisely of what we do in a group class, albeit more concentrated and focused thereby bringing exponentially better developed works. Students work from life &/or photos - either heir own or provided by instructor. . Sixty- two private students since 2002,
61 graduated with 60 accepted into their University of choice......" None failed to gain admission.
