Sophies style. She is very creative and teaches how see an object and a shadow, for example. Sophie is also patient, encouraging and instructs with a mentoring style... through suggestions and questions and ideas on how to have a more critical eye on how to look at an object and how one is drawing the object.

Frequently asked questions

Discuss needs, preferences (e.g. group or individual) and experience of student. Are the classes for personal development, to improve skills (e.g. for college application) or for a mental break from the stresses of life? (All valid reasons.)

Find a time that works for both parties.

Who will travel? - your home or my Ann Arbor studio?

1 - 7 students in a class.

$45 - $20 per hour. Some variations depending on materials, travel time etc.

Young children, high school students, college students and adults.

Check you like their art, or at least find it interesting.

Be adventurous and open to new ways of thinking.

Realize that making art can be hard (but rewarding) work.

Think what you want from the lessons. It could be relaxation with a couple of friends, reviving old skills, wanting to wake up your brain by doing something completely new, wanting to take your skill to the next level...Make sure your honest with yourself, and the teacher can help you.
