From Frances Qualls –

Hello all!

I have had a number of moms ask me if I would teach art lessons and how much I’d charge.  I would love to teach!  Since I don’t have a location to teach from, I would have to come to the student. I live in Yemassee, so if someone lives farther than Beaufort (Lady’s Island, Port Royal, etc.) then I may have to charge a little more to make up for driving time and gas.

I plan to charge $20 for an hour lesson, but only $10 for each additional child. There would be costs for some supplies, but nothing crazy. It would depend on what kind of medium your child was interested in working with. In general, I usually keep it to basic/inexpensive mediums for children.  As far as ages go, I am willing to teach any age. I know that maturity varies, but I have found that for more formal lessons, 8 years and up is a good bracket. So, that would be my preferred age group, but I’m willing to adjust!

As most of you know, I graduated from USCB with a degree in studio art.  I can teach basic art skills, drawing, watercolors, oil paint, pastels, etc.  I don’t work with acrylic paint, so I am a little bit out of the loop with that particular medium.  I have also taken many art history courses and can focus on incorporating different artists from history into lessons.   I have taught a few lessons for kids and have also given some demos for classes.  I’m still new to teaching, but I really do love it! I don’t work on Mondays orWednesday, so I am hoping to give lessons on those days.

If anyone is interested, please email me at mcnair.frances@gmail.com and let me know who wants to take lessons, their ages and what they are interested in learning. This way, I can prepare lessons and also come up with a supply list. Thank you and Happy New Year!!!
