Back in 2013 I took two art classes from Maritza Molina. Basic and advanced drawing. Ms Molina is a talented artist and excellent teacher. She has great credentials being a graduate of the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. From her I learned good drawing techniques which I apply to my daily work as an artist. I learned about the concepts of form, contour drawing, spatial relationship, positive and negative space, value, shading, etc. Also the more advanced subjects of foreshortening, perspective, still life and portraits. The material presented in class was reinforced by sensible homework. Ms Molina was always prepared, well organized and on time. She’s a cheerful person and very enthusiastic about art. She was a force in motivating her students. I benefited from taking her class and the knowledge I gained is extensive. She’s one of the best teachers I ever had,

As a student I enjoy the studio and the teaching approach that allows me to learn and channel my creativity. The Art Shack Miami is a welcoming and friendly environment where you can enjoy the learning process. It is a creativity powerhouse in Doral, FL.

The class was well prepared and detailed. The instructor explained all the steps very well and took us through a very complex assignment with ease and grace. Everyone who participated went home with a beautiful art piece that was worth well over the cost of the class. I would 100% recommend this class!

He's the best teacher/mentor I ever had, and I don't think I could ever work and learn from anyone better. He's taught me everything I know about oil painting, drawing, photography, engraving -- literally EVERYTHING. He's so inspiring and attentive; he knows how to create almost anything (very well-rounded instructor). I've known Mr. Ouporov for years, he taught me so much about art and gave me the ambition to pursue it as a career. I used to draw little cartoons and disproportionate anime drawings in my sketchbook, and now I'm doing 6ft tall classical oil paintings. There's always a mutual sense of intellectual/artistic engagement, where you always feel like you're being supported, not judged. He's very professional and always enthusiastic to work with students.
