"Hello! My name is Alana Tashjian. I graduated in 2007 from the Art Institute of Boston, studying Fine Arts and Art History. Since then, I have been a licensed art educator for over 15 years for all ages: adults, teens, kids, and everyone in between. Currently I teach adults and highly motivated teens. The goal is always for my students to start making art as a regular practice, learning artist's fundamentals & the process behind creative thinking, and creating work they can be proud of. During my last two years teaching AP Art, I have sent many of my high school age students off to top art universities across the US, including RISD, SAIC, UCLA, SCAD, Columbia, and more!
I am open for online classes in many areas, such as:
- Project-based technical modules tried & tested in my own artwork and classroom, including: Sketching fundamentals, charcoal drawing, watercolor painting, figure drawing, portraiture, fashion illustration, acrylic painting, design fundamentals, digital art (Photoshop, Procreate), etc.
- A class customized to your own needs: What do YOU want to learn about art?
- One-on-One Art consultations: How best to improve your artwork that you are in the midst of creating? (Includes Paint-Over and critique)
* Ages: On this platform, I prefer teaching teens (12+) through adults, those who are serious about improving their art skills while enjoying a fun and positive online classroom environment. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions, or think we might be a good match!" less...
