The important place in my artistic practice belongs to teaching – I give art lessons. I used to work as an art instructor at the Center of Education and Arts “Sunville Academy” There I gave art-lessons for children and adults and also provided painting master-classes for adults. I also taught private art lessons. During all my teaching career I developed a special art course. It utilizes a unique and effective method that makes you and your child learn how to draw and paint, develops imagination and opens the infinite world of Art and Crafts easily and freely. My extensive experience, mastery of various professional techniques of drawing, deep comprehension of art history, a natural knack for teaching and love for children, as well as the ability to find individual approach to each student make my lessons exceptional.

 For childrean:

My art courses are unique and effective method that makes your child learn how to draw, develop imagination and open the infinite world of Art and Crafts easily and freely. My extensive experience, mastery of various professional techniques of drawing, deep comprehension of art history, a natural knack for teaching and love for children, as well as the ability to find individual approach to each student make my lessons exceptional.

I strive to make each lesson not only informative and educational for building the essential theoretical and practical foundation, but also interesting and captivating for impatient and restless children. Throughout the program, along with acquisition of complex technical skills and knowledge, children learn the indispensable ability to think creatively and develop artistic perception of reality. I am convinced that one of the most important objectives in teaching is fostering a creative atmosphere during the lesson that helps students to realize their own creative capabilities and to unveil their potential, as a result of which children perceive the learning process as a series of discoveries made on their own, and the knowledge from which becomes more significant.

The main goal of my program, designed for preschool, primary school and preteen ages, is to develop interest in drawing and painting as a unique form of creative expression. Among program objectives the most important ones are creating a dynamic and exciting learning environment, while at the same time helping children master painting and drawing skills. Individual approach, dynamic and informative lessons, original method of studying art – all these factors allow the little geniuses – which, in my opinion, all children have within - to successfully master the basic types and genres of visual arts as well as obtain practical and theoretical knowledge. The acquired skills help them not only learn how to draw a picture in any genre, but also aid in the perception of the surrounding reality, and in the formation of outlook on life of the little, but already unique and quickly developing, personality.
