CONOCE A SYLVIA

Queridos compañeros artistas y amantes del arte

Mi pasión es dar clases de arte. Me encanta ayudar a mis alumnos a tener ese "ahá moment" e inspirarlos a trabajar en sus proyectos de manera constante es mi propósito.

Quiero que aprendas todas las técnicas, que te inspires, que te mantengas emocionado, que crezcas y prosperes, que aprendas a fotografiar tu obra de arte y, tal vez, que te enseñe a venderla ... ¡Lo sé, hay mucho que explorar!

El único ingrediente que estará presente en cada una de mis clases es mi pasión por emocionarte, motivarte e inspirarte a encontrar la verdadera alegría al expresar la vida a través del arte.

¡Espero poder ser de guía y apoyo en tu viaje artístico!

“Creo que el arte no necesita depender solo del talento. Existen pautas para hacer un buen arte que se pueden aprender sin obstaculizar la creatividad y la capacidad de una persona para crear su propio estilo único."
