After leading a child on a learning journey, I love to see their pride and confidence when they achieve. Over the many years of teaching, I have learned to teach with optimism and enthusiasm. This keeps my students engaged in learning until they master the needed skills and see their successful results. I have enjoyed teaching art classes for over 20 years, teaching hundreds of students from ages 4 to 84. I have developed a step by step art curriculum and I customize this curriculum depending on the age, interests, and skill level of each student. I have presented an annual art exhibit showcasing my students' work at Mapleton City Hall. I have produced and published online lessons and demonstrations via my YouTube channel, "ArtwithLana."
