About

For the time being, all my lessons are being conducted online on Zoom until the Coronavirus is under control.

My greatest joy is seeing a student’s smile when they realize that they have achieved a visual, imaginative and creative expressive result through drawing and painting. I have had 30 plus years to develop my skills as an artist, art teacher and professor of art history teaching many different levels at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Montgomery College, The American University and community colleges and public schools.

I love the exploration and discovery that happens when I engage with the world. As a teacher, I love to share this experience with my students.

    He gave me all the tools I needed to pave my own way in Graphic Design. His teaching, feedback, guidance, and encouragement really stuck with me. His teaching style was perfect for me, I suffer from severe Narcolepsy (sleeping disorder), and his class was they only one I looked forward too. And like 3/20 teachers I can remember who knew how to work with me, and encourage me, despite falling asleep uncontrollably all the time. He said I was really creative and said it often enough that I believed him. I also vividly remember him working hard to obtain some super legit certification, and I always wondered why work so hard to get this title to do what you already do. Now I get it, he was determined to be the best teacher he could possibly be, and we all reaped the benefits of having such a passionate and dedicated instructor. The proof is in the pudding. Now I run a photography business, on retainer with a health care company, and photo editor for a multi-million dollar company.(StartUp Health) I owe a great deal of that success to Mr. Mann. He showed me how awesome art could be, and how awesome I could be. Best of all he showed me how to go make it myself, and here I am.

    His artwork graces my home and he has come to my farm and painted some of the animals. I love how his works from nature and how he uses color and light. His work is really inspiring!

    Mr Mann has a natural gift for teaching. His patience, talent and humor have inspired his students to express themselves, ideas and stories through art.

    Frequently asked questions

    What are the student's goals and motivations? It doesn't matter how experienced the person is because they will be exposed to new ideas, materials and processes for expressing and representing their vision.

    I have a BFA and MA in painting, sculpture and art history, and have taught pre-k through senior citizens in classes at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Corcoran College of Art, Montgomery College, and other community colleges and public schools.

    For one-on-one teaching I charge $50 an hour. 

    I started teaching children at St. Albans and The Corcoran College of Art, but didn't realize that teaching was my calling until much later after working in museums and galleries. In the 1980's I focused on teaching at the college level as an adjunct professor, and at the end of the 1990's I received my teaching certification for secondary education.

    I work with all students at all levels.

    Have an open mind.
