Shawn’s Drawing Tips

Not every piece of art you make has to be a masterpiece. I think one of the leading causes of “Artist’s Block” is the idea that you have to create a beautiful piece of art every time you put pencil to the page.  This is not the case. In fact 90% of the time you’re drawing, it should be practice. Practicing hands or faces. Practicing cars or trees.  Or practicing a future finished piece of art.  If you look at my sketchbook you will find a scribbling mess that only makes sense to me.  It’s far from a 
masterpiece, but that’s the way it should be.

Shawn’s Art Tips

When coloring your drawings, do not use black, or white.  Without getting into the complexities of color theory, we’ll just say black and white are not technically colors. Besides if you look at something in real life that is black or white, you’ll notice other colors hidden in them.  So instead of using that black color pencil, try a dark blue, or purple.  And instead of white try a pale yellow.  You’ll be surprised how much life your drawing will have when you do this!

Welcoming New Teachers!

 

Ann M.

Ann has studied Vocal Performance and Music Education at Montclair State University, where she graduated with a BA in Vocal Technique. She has a background preforming in prestigious chamber choir, and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. She  enjoys working with younger students who have passion for the spotlight. Ann   just recently moved to Atlanta and is excited to share her skills with her new and upcoming students.

 

Zach B.

My experience playing the drums goes back to elementary school when I received a student model Ludwig snare drum and began lessons with a couple of great local drummers. After graduating high school and then from Atlanta Institute of Music I immediately began my career traveling the southeast US playing drums as well as teaching private lessons. These days I’m enjoying life in the North metro area with my wife and daughter, our two dogs, and playing music! Being able to teach private drum lessons is one of the most gratifying endeavors I have been a part of and I am excited to be a part of Canton Arts Academy.
