Private and Semi-Private Art Lessons with Katie:
Katie Haire has been a professional art educator for over a decade, teaching students of a variety of artistic levels and all ages rigorous academic art practices.
My art lessons focus on the fundamentals of art first and gradually will increase complexity of subject matter to create a well-rounded art education that can be tailored to your artistic goals.
Whether you want to learn how to create art more realistically or learn a new medium, I can create a program for you!
Testimonials from current and former students:
“As a current student, the classes I’ve been attending have helped me to grow and develop as an artist, learning the fundamentals as well as how to utilize these skills in my own work. Since I’ve become a student I have more confidence in my work and skill. I have also improved tremendously.”
“Before taking classes, I had an extremely limited perspective on items such as particular oil painting techniques or the fundamentals of draftsmanship. The classes are conducted professionally and our instructor made sure we memorized the content without it before difficult to understand. her criticisms allowed me to take a more disciplined look at my work, greatly advancing my proficiency.”
“I remember all the content I acquired, which has allowed me to expand my skillset outside of class, and into more external opportunities. She teaches not only the fundamentals and techniques, but also a positive mindset that will promote self-growth, even out of the learning environment. I will continue to cherish all I’ve learned for the rest of my art career.”
“This class taught me how to be more productive with my art. Before coming to this class, I felt like I was limited with my creativity, which made my art lack personality. Nor, I have more confidence in creating art with an open mind…I’ve learned so many things and value the art world so much more.”
“With my art previously, I was happy with it. It was always more for fun, I never truly saw any issues with it before, but I always felt like something wasn’t ever right and that was I wasn’t improving. But after the time now of having [Katie] as my teacher, I felt like my art was finally my own. A lot of the issues that have been bugging me have been pointed out, and I’ve learned more tricks and techniques for art. Not just in one medium, but in multiple!! My art has changed so much and for the better, I feel confident and happy to show what I am able to do now :)”
“Taking this class has really helped me grow as an artist. My art now looks more beautiful and sophisticated but also it has deeper meaning. I now have an artistic skillset that will serve as the foundation for the rest of my artistic career.
“Before I took the fine arts classes I believed most foundations and techniques were useless, I realized that I was a beginner at the fine arts and there was variety of ways to do art, many methods, many techniques. Even now, being better at my craft, I still know I can learn more, do more, and paint more. Art is malleable and the classes showed me how essential the foundations and tools are to paint everything.”
