Lessons

These Art Lessons are developed so that young artists can start building solid art foundation and the creative thought process for art making from an early age. Students explore traditional drawing mediums and experimental/expressive use of such and learn how to visualize their creative visions. Victoriya trains students of all ages by providing one-on-one instructions and gives individual attention to all. Students can acquaint themselves with the foundation skills and/or further strengthen and develop their techniques and skills. If you’d like more information regarding the classes, contact Victoriya.

Beginner Classes – This class focuses on the basics of drawing with pencil, eraser, and paper. Expert teachers guide students through the elements of art, including line, shape, shadow, value, tone, form and perspective, demonstrating and offering critiques of work. This course is ideal for beginner students who seek a foundation in the fundamentals of drawing.  Join our beginner drawing classes to acquire essential skills such as pencil shading, creating objects from basic shapes, sketching still life scenes, and employing various shading methods. Most importantly, you or your child will uncover their own unique artistic style. 

Intermediate Classes –  Exploring Composition and Proportion. Understanding and Integrating Intermediate Values. Exploring the Concept of Lost and Found Edges. Diving into Multiple Point Perspective. Please note that these classes assume some prior art knowledge. In this setting, each student creates art based on their preferred reference material, whether it’s brought from home, selected from studio resources, or found online via an iPad or phone. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the amount of knowledge you’ll gain in these sessions. Occasionally, we enhance drawings by introducing color and depth through watercolor pencils. Our belief is that using different shades of gray pencils helps you grasp the object’s values and teaches you how to give it dimension. Our classes offer tailored, step-by-step instruction to suit your specific needs and interests. 

Professional/Advanced Level Individual Classes – In this class art knowledge, theories & technique knowledge is required;  the teacher draws side by side with the student assisting them on building professional portfolio. 

Adult Art Classes – Through a series of exercises, we are going to explore the elements of drawing as well as a variety of techniques, tools, and drawing mediums. We will work from still lifes, photographs, and online resources. The primary objective will be black and white imagery, but color may also be introduced. We will have individual and group . All levels are welcome.
