DISCOVER THE ARTIST IN YOU
“Everyone can learn to draw and paint,”
suggests renowned professional artist Sarah
Deans.
Sarah takes a twofold approach when
teaching art; covering the classical craft for
structure and confidence building, whilst
showing how to break the rules and think
creatively to explore the artist that a person
wants to be.
“I teach how to use one’s mind to open up
a new world using an accelerated style of
learning,” says Sarah.
Sarah’s methods which differ from traditional
art instruction are extremely effective in
helping budding artists discover their own
creative approach.
“I want them to find out who they are as an
artist so I look for the direction they’re likely
to take in their art and encourage that,”
explains Sarah.
Participants learn how to draw a self-portrait;
something that takes courage yet most can
sketch an outline of their face within two
hours and produce a refined photographic
image in around ten hours. These ‘before
and afters’ help them see their progress
over a short timeframe with most reaching
intermediate drawing level by the end of a
course.
Sarah is a member of the N Z Water Colour
Society and has taught art in Australia where
she also studied colour. This gave her an
in-depth appreciation of individual colours
beyond the craft of colour mixing.
“I teach drawing and painting, encouraging
learners to feel like artists connecting with the
sensitivity and feel of colour,” expands Sarah
who plans to hold colour mixing classes, for
adults who are already doing the ‘colouring in’
hobby.
“Colouring in is healthy being enjoyable,
relaxing, not competitive, and removed from
life’s responsibilities. I teach colour mixing so
novices can become confident to produce
artworks.”
Sarah teaches beginning, intermediate and
advanced level artists and will be running
art workshops and lessons in Tai Tapu and
Christchurch with classes beginning in June.
