"I'm Joey. I am an artist living in Brooklyn, NY working primarily in oil paint. I graduated with highest honors from Pratt Institute with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and a minor in History of Art & Design. I also studied fine art before college at a highly competitive magnet fine arts high school. I am very focused on bringing engaging individualized instruction to art students based on their skill level, interests, and needs. We begin our first lesson with an in-depth conversation and portfolio review to asses your level of development and what direction you want to take your work. My instruction has an emphasis on drawing from observation, drawing people, the art elements & principles, composition, and art history. I also welcome students studying abstract art.

I am new to tutoring on Wyzant, and have extensive experience providing critiques in fine arts classrooms in high school and college settings. I have been noted by peers and faculty for my high quality critiques. My critiques are focused on clear criticism, technique, improving student work, and building a cohesive body of work. I help students with time management and development of a high quality work ethic. I also build lessons for students to reinforce what they are learning in school. I welcome feedback from students and parents about my instruction.
