Designers and photographers, art lovers and collectors—all need to know some basics about images. Humanities students know the basics but may need to clarify some points or simply wish to add a new perspective to their way of looking. I'm an art historian with extensive teaching experience. You can tell me what you are interested in, and we will develop a plan for your class tailored to your personal needs and background. The course design may include lectures, free discussions, and even some drawing and art games—depending on your goals. I also offer combined lessons in art and language for those who wish to practice Russian or English as a foreign language.
