TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I am a classically trained artist who has benefited from a long lineage of teaching artists dating back to 19th century France and beyond. As part of this tradition, an important part of my artistic practice involves sharing the knowledge that's been passed down to me as well as the lessons I've learned from experience in my own studio.
I strive to create a professional, supportive, and non-judgmental environment in my classes to keep the focus on learning and allow students to calmly approach what can be the very difficult task of creating art.

I'm available to teach a regular art class or a one-time workshop. I am qualified to teach drawing, oil/acrylic painting, and watercolor classes. If you're interested in taking a class or need teaching faculty for your organization, please contact me at art@ericmarch.com.

Put Your Best Self Forward: A Four Week Sketching Self-Portrait Workshop
at the Central Queens YM & YWHA

Join me every Wednesday in January and create a drawing of your “best” self. Learn something new each week about drawing a portrait and put your new knowledge to work in your piece. Bring a photograph of yourself that captures YOUR
ESSENCE (it can be a recent picture or one from 30 years ago) and start drawing!
At the end of the workshop we will laminate the drawing in a class show at the YM & YWHA.
Pencil and paper will be provided.

Course Dates are January 6, 13, 21, 27 in 2010 from 1:30-2:45
