A Passion for Teaching

Over my 25 years of teaching, I have learned that I have a great passion for teaching non artists about art and design. I created the original Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator courses at night school at Fanshawe in the early 1990's. I then became very busy teaching at the day school at Fanshawe as well as teaching corporately. I also created and taught a 54 hour course called Electronic Graphic Design which not only covered digital software but included colour theory, composition, design theory, typography and digital output methods. In my last 2 years I taught at the Design School teaching portfolio creation to Urban Design students as well as teaching classes on Creativity and Creative Thinking. I have also been creating websites since 1996. 

In recent years,  I realized that what I missed most is teaching. I am thankful for the opportunity to teach painting to seniors and to develop my own courses through my studio. With the success of my Learn to Paint course, I am looking forward to building on it and offer more courses. I not only teach painting classes but I also teach drawing classes. If you want to learn more, contact me. ​​

Student Feedback

"I have difficulty relaxing but discovered that Sylvie's classes are very relaxing! Plus you learn a creative skill." - Deb 

"I have thoroughly enjoyed Sylvie's "Learning To Paint With Acrylics" class. She is a talented artist and a great teacher. Her studio is lovely and very well equipped. Lots of techniques were covered and there was enough time in class to apply what we learned. I highly recommend checking out one of her classes. I know this is the first of many for me!! - Jude

​"The studio is peaceful with plenty of light and amazing views. Sylvie provides clear information and demonstrates as we go. The blending class was an aha! moment when I finally understood shadows & highlights. I now see how to give my paintings depth." - Kathleen

​
"I really enjoyed and learned a lot from Sylvie on my 2 introductory paint classes. Sylvie’s knowledge and passion for art is evident as soon as you enter her art studio. I look forward to many more classes with Sylvie. Thank you Sylvie you are an amazing art teacher." Regards, Jack Vanderwerf.
