My name is Mishel and I teach drawing and painting, beginner - advanced. The style in which I teach is flexible and is tailored to each students needs and interest within the subject and through chosen themes and topics. I can provide lessons for in Both Russian and English, so whichever is most comfortable for you let me know.
The first lesson would be an introductory session that will help me get to know the student and their interests in art, what they are hoping to learn and the direction they would like to go in with learning how to draw and paint. Their interests and choosing a topic/theme for their next session. I teach drawing fundamentals and painting techniques, methods, artist research, art history, experimenting with media and colour theory, encouraging independent studies and daily drawing exercises.
My aim as a teacher is to encourage and motivate my students to grow their skills as artist with confidence and give the tools to over come creative blocks that they may face while having a good experience and fun in exploring and experimenting with different media and discovering their sense of artistic style.
I am a self taught artist who is specialised Painter in Mixed Media and Abstract Drawing and Paintings. I am currently studying Art Appreciation course online for Global Art History and have a Diploma in Art and Design to build on my current knowledge. I have also studied art and Design level 2 UAL qualification.
I previously Worked with a non for profit charity organisation where I liaised with an Art Director and local artist with a Woman's Arts and Crafts group and a Drawing and Painting workshop, where I supported and guided students of all ages. I often planned and prepared classes based on the topic, art style, the artist and the artists history which was them followed by a drawing or/and a painting session.
Acting as a teaching assistant for the organisation I found that the progress the groups made and improved their skills with guidance was very worth while and paid off in a very positive way. Each and every member in the group had their own sense of unique style that flourished and became more vibrant, improving new skills and techniques they learned over time and incorporated in to their future work without further prompting and in turn watching them grow with confidence with their abilities.
