Art Lessons with Children's Book Illustrator
See more of Chloe's books on her website: www.chloebartisty.com/books
Hello there! I'm Chloe Burgett, a children's book illustrator living in Lincoln, NE.
I've taught art lessons to youth and adults alike since I graduated college with an Illustration degree in 2015. Workshops in lettering, printmaking, watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, landscape painting, portraiture, still life drawing, screenprinting, digital art, and more.
I taught at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art for four years, and I've mentored students in art through LPS for 3 years.
I tailor each lesson to the student's interest and ability, because I believe the most important thing when you're learning a new skill is to have fun and find joy. That joy will carry you through the times where you're having trouble, doubts, or not liking your art.
To see my current work and the books I have published, visit my artist website.
