A little more Lynda

Lynda Giles teaches
basic drawing techniques-perspective,
shading, value and proportion.
Even the most unskilled person
can be taught to draw
using math and measurement.

My Personal Story

Watercolour painting techniques are taught with the same philosophy as teaching students to read and write. First you are shown the alphabet, then taught the sounds. The letters form words used in sentences. Finally the students are able to write their own stories. Step by step instructions enables the student to complete a painting, learning techniques along the way, to enable them to eventually paint their own masterpieces!

Lynda is basically self taught with an enthusiasm in believing in herself and her given talent to share her artistic knowledge with others. She has a great understanding of the students that have difficulty learning, due to dyslexia and ocular dominance, expressing to them that perseverance believing in ones' self and passion, opportunities will be present. The words "I can't" and "not good enough" are not in her vocabulary. Her philosophy is when you say "I can't" a door is closed, at the least try and doors will open.

Lynda's career as an artist has included commissions, murals, juried shows and instructing classes for seniors, instruction for rehabilitation, instruction for art schools along with the Board of Education, Catholic and Public. Electives, P.D. Workshops and teaching to the curriculum, classes from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 has been just some of her programs. Several of her adolescent student taught at her home studio have won numerous awards in local juried art shows.

Most importantly, Lynda makes learning fun!
