Shanna's Art Lessons
About
I went to Herron Art school for more than three years and was aiming to be a teacher when my first pregnancy interfered. I learned so many practical things that I beleive could help students learn and gain confidence in drawing. Anyone can draw!! I focus on positive reinforcement and constructive criticism. I've taught classes to younger students several times at a local small art institute. It's a lot of work to practice art but if you have determination you can definately become able to draw or improve at drawing.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I want to find out what they want to draw and their skill level before giving lesson plans to help each student in what they want to improve on.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Three plus years at Herron Art school
taught several classes at Indiana center for the arts
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I hope to work with the students to find a fair price but for now I feel $25 per 1 hour lesson seems fair.
How did you get started teaching?
It's something I always dreamed of doing even from when I was young. When I love something I want to share that love and enthusiasm with someone else. I feel so proud when a student gains confidence and quits thinking negatively.
What types of students have you worked with?
I mostly taught elementary and middle school age.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently tried to help my daughter draw something and she was pretty happy when it finally looked more like she hoped.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I think attitude is most important you do not want to hire someone who will push their style or stereotypes on you. You want a teacher who is firm, patient, positive, knowledgable, and passionate.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Why are you trying to learn now? Do you have a goal in mind?
