Master Artist is a mentoring and accountability membership designed to support and equip artists in their creative development and business. For those who desire additional support, Blueprint to Realism art skill training courses are designed for artists looking for more growth in their realism art skills and/or finding their own personal art style. Blueprint to Realism incorporates Ann's mentoring methods used for Elementary, Middle and High School through Adults. 

For over 40 years Ann has witnessed AMAZING growth in Drawing, Painting and Sculpting skills from the very young through adults when they follow this Master Artist's Blueprint to Realism training method as it's laid out, step-by-step, wherever they are at developmentally in their growth as a creative. Each year as students move through the Master Artist offerings they bring new levels of understanding, skill, visual communication and beauty to their art making.

In Master Artist, you will apply multiple pieces of training throughout the year to learn about and understand, how to work with and silence your personal critics that get in the way of you creating your greatest work. This goes deeper than just positive thinking, although this is a small part of the growth process. There are many levels to learning about and silencing the critic; we will unpack these each month as Master Artist modules build throughout the year.

Did your know College Level Art coursework trains students predominantly in Foundational Art Skills; whereas Masters College Graduate Level Art coursework focuses primarily on students developing their own Personal Art Style.

Master Artist Membership and the Blueprint to Realism Course combine both methods together throughout the modules. Students who apply themselves and follow the step-by-step process excel in developing their own unique Personal Art Style over time. Having a Mentor who is there to help guide and point out as your unique personal art style emerges is extremely valuable.

If you are desiring LIVE ENCOURAGING CRITIQUE AND FEEDBACK you may want to bundle your Master Artist Membership by adding on the VIP GROUP LIVE, STUDIO TO STUDIO CREATE, AND CRITIQUE with the instructor. Space is limited.

You obviously know how important creative learning is for individual growth and development, especially in the areas of emotional health and self-esteem, individuality, and self-discovery.

Since creating art is as much about courage (especially in large group learning) as it is about art skill development, non-art practicing teachers are strongly encouraged to do the work and engage in the art-making process for themselves.

Experiencing first-hand in Master Artist Membership what elements build personal creativity, as well as the process of personal art skill development in Blueprint to Realism Course training AHEAD OF THEIR STUDENTS, can broaden the teacher's ability to bring classical art training to their students and deepen the educational experience and life application for each student in their classroom.

Ann has seen how art skill growth in students, especially students diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, and Aspergers, increases focusing skills affecting other learning disciplines, spilling over into increased self-esteem and self-expression when interacting with peers and adults.

EXAMPLE: If you are bringing a study on Self-Portraits into your classroom, do the work of the art course step-by-step yourself FIRST. Experience the wonder of seeing your own personality come through the lines on paper in your own free-hand (not traced) Self-Portrait drawing; feel the emotional release that wells up, experience the fears and doubts that you need to face, and move through to advance your personal art skill growth, followed by the needed inner courage to greet the personal style of the artist within whom you will meet on the other side at the finished drawing.

Equipped with this empathy, you will be full of wisdom and knowledge in training your parent volunteer support team in advance, as well as guiding your students through to their highest work. Art making is deeply personal and our highest work comes from deep within; providing a trusting and non-critical environment while taking extra care in this area pays out dividends for the individual over their lifetime.

The Master Artist Membership was designed after Ann's brick-and-mortar business where she trains up artists in Classical Drawing, Painting, and Clay Sculpting. Ann trains all artists in using drawing skills to be applied and strengthened for a foundational understanding of art form and design. This is a great mentoring experience for sculptors as it will integrate foundational disciplines in clay sculpting as journaling ideas are applied.
