About Onya

I teach my students the fundamentals of drawing and painting using charcoal, soft pastel, watercolor, and oil painting. I can also incorporate the history of art into the lessons.

I have been a special education teacher in the public school system for 23 years and love sharing my knowledge of art/art history. I enjoy proving that art is not a talent but a skill that can be learned as well as how the history of art defines a culture and vice versa.

It started in college where I received a Gluck Fellowship. Although I was an art history major, I was awarded an opportunity to work with 9 other art students to teach 2 groups of elementary students about "mail art" (subject chosen be professor). From there on, I knew I would go into teaching. (I can tell you more when we meet/talk on the phone).

Art History major.

3 years working at Mission Renaissance ((concealed information) in Pasadena.

23 years teaching special education (students with unique abilities).

Almost completed my MA in Art Education @ Azusa Pacific University (2 year program; 2 more classes to go).

Passion for the Arts (see my Facebook page).

About the lesson

The first thing I do is related to Introduction. I would highly recommend a phone call or an in person meeting so both parties can discuss their experiences and goals as well as the cost of supplies.

The second thing I would do is related to Instruction. Does the student desire to learn (are they interested in the subject?), how are their attention/listening skills (do they follow verbal and/or visual instructions accurately?), and how sensitive is the person to correction? (some students have low self-esteem and that tells me I need to help improve their confidence).

The third thing I would do is related to closure. I would teach/help the student how to clean up, ask them how they feel, and ask them if they had any questions.

Fine Art: drawing, soft pastel, water color and oil painting to students ages 4-14.

General Education curriculum to elementary aged students diagnosed with an emotional or learning disability.

Adapted General Education curriculum. High school and adult age (up to 22) students diagnosed with an intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, and/or autism.

Make sure your goals and what the teacher can teach you match.

Make sure the student knows how much oil paints and their supplies cost and agree to who is going to purchase them (the student or the teacher)?

Ask to see art examples and make sure that the teacher cannot only "paint," but that they can "teach painting" as well. (This can be decided at the first meeting).

I just went to Cancun and had a relaxing time. While there I noticed myself staring at and taking hundreds of pictures of clouds (in the sky, in sunsets, in storms). I realized I had a new hobby and that was observing clouds as well as drawing/painting them.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Costs, meeting location and duration/frequency (eg., oil paints take a long time to set/clean up so consider that time you will need prior to the teachers "instruction."
