Rachel’s Art

I would fist see what they have done and see what they want to focus on in terms of going forward. I am very student based. I always like to see what they are gaining from the class. I would try certain things with my new student and if certain things don’t work I am always very flexible and love to try out new things.

I have been studying art since I was very little. I took my first art lessons when I was ten and continued till I got my formal training in college. I went to stern college together with fit for college where I majored inart and minored in psychology. I continued to graduate school in queens college where I got my masters in Art Education

When I give private lessons I charge 75 an hour and this includes all the materials. When I give a class to several students at a time I charge 50 per person for the hour which also includes the materials.

I’ve always had a passion for art and I love to share my passion with others. I love worki f with people and this is a great way to do something that I love and I’m so passionate about.

i have worked with all types of students. I work with all ages from age 3 to 103+ I work differently depending on the age of course. Currently I’m working as a high school teacher at Ezra Academy and I have a wide range of students there. I work with kids who know nothing about art and don’t care to be there up till the most talented students who are so interested and I’m able to push them along and become even greater. I have learned the different techniques necessary to even attract those students who are forced to take the class and don’t want to be there. 

I recently ran a paint night for about 50 women. It was really very special working with each one at their own level and always making sure that everyone feels good about the process as well as the results. I think it’s so important to build people up through their art work and never put them down. I always look for the positive when looking at someone else’s artwork and make sure to make people feel good while enhancing their art at the same time. I’ve had feedback from that event and othe paint nights that I have done that I always made people feel good and enhanced their self esteem while working with them on the painting.

I’d say it’s really important to find someone who cares about you and helping you. Make sure you work well Withto teacher as a person and they have the right personality for you to be comfortable with.  They shouldn’t have an agenda if their own, Arne ether should be asking you what you want to be focussin on at least at the beggining.

What’s re they looking to gain out of this series of classes?
