I have extensive personal and academic experience in studio art. I took art clas... ses regularly throughout high school, including graphic design and three years of studio art. I was also an executive board member of my high school's National Art Honor Society, and as a result of my membership in the (separate) National Honor Society, I also have tutoring experience. Currently, I attend Amherst College, a highly selective liberal arts college known colloquially as a "little ivy." I am a prospective practice of art and biology dual major with a flexible background. Artistically, I come from a background of self-teaching bolstered by formal classes, and drawing is one of my lifelong passions. I find that fine arts is not only deeply enriching on an academic level, but also a wonderful outlet for expression and critical thought. As such, I believe in an encouraging but constructive format of teaching that not only guides students in how to draw directly, but also teaches them to navigate finding outside resources in order to learn beyond the classroom.read more
