About
Hi there, I´m Lauren White, Private Art Instructor and Workshop Host! Feel free to contact me at Explaurenarts.com, inquire with any questions you have!
I have taught over 500 art lessons online and in person. I specialize in fine art skills such as :
-Charcoal Drawing
-Graphite Drawing
-Watercolor Painting
-Crafts like pine needle weaving, book binding, papermaking, pottery and more!
I teach all ages and all skill levels. Please reach out and let me know where you are at and what you're looking to achieve! I graduated from the College of Saint Benedict with a degree in Psychology and Art.
I truly enjoy teaching anyone who is interested to learn more! I enjoy capturing details within my art and I also love the therapuetic attributes that we benefit from as we create. I enjoy hearing students tell me they tried something new or feel they are progressing or even just that it relaxes them to participate! Its such a joy. I hope to work with you soon!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I typically allow a new student to set the pace based on how comfortable they are. We start usually with introduction to the medium and tools, then an overall look at what we are trying to accompish. I willl give tutorials as to how the work is usually approached and then we dive in! There are many ways to work with people, some gain more from watching me work alongside them while others may work better through trial and error on their own and me being their for their questions and to give suggestion!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelors Degree (May 2020) -- Art & Psychology: Coursework in many different mediums, oil, acrylic, drawing with charcoal and graphite, stoneware ceramics, bookbinding, pine needle weaving and more!

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I typically charge hourly. Sometimes art can vary between 1 hour and 5 hours a day depending how much progress we are making and how much help the individual would like. The price outlines my time spent teaching as well as travel time (if needed) and in some cases supplies (if needed).
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with people ranging from pre-school age to university students. I also have performed crafts with elderly in a assisted living setting.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Last fall, there was an Art Crawl held within a city near me that i had attended. Along a city street there were multiple vendors who displayed their art work for sale that was open to the public to see. It was very interesting because the art varied from jewelry making, to pottery, to abstract and realistic drawings and paintings. It was a fun local event to become inspired by.
