San Diego Art Loft Introduces Linda Frueh Monday December 19th 5:30-8:00 pm

Encaustic Artist Linda Frueh will be opening her studio next door to the Art Loft.

The Monday night class will learn about encaustic painting and have an opportunity to work with this rich and layered material. We invite you to attend the workshop.Encaustic is an ancient medium consisting of beeswax melted together with damar resin to create a harder, more lasting material with which to paint and sculpt. It was first used in Ancient Egypt to seal the hulls of boats, then to create paintings and sculptures that have lasted until today.

Please sign up directly at www.atelierfrueh.com/take-a-class/

I look forward to bringing workshops to you throughout the year.

Thank you, Elissa Lieberman

THUMBING through one portfolio after another can be a frustrating day’s work for Melissa Morgan, admissions counselor at the Tyler School of Art of Temple University in Philadelphia. “I see so much anime and Pokémon and Grand Theft Auto,” she says. “I see one drawing done 20 times.”

To greater or lesser degrees, grades, class rank and SAT/ACT scores count, but admissions judgments for visual arts programs are largely based on a student’s portfolio of work. That’s true whether the interest is fine arts, fashion, interior or graphic design, architecture or illustration. Yet few students have any idea what they should be submitting when applying. For that matter, neither do guidance counselors and even high school art teachers; many high schools don’t even have art classes.

But where there is a void in education, someone comes along to fill it. Helping applicants get the portfolio right is becoming a business. Portfolio prep classes — an SAT course for budding Picassos — teach tricks of the trade that impress admissions officers. At National Portfolio Day, colleges advise students on how close they are to the right mix and what else is needed.

92130 Magazine Features the San Diego Art Loft

Develop Skills and Inspiration at the San Diego Art Loft

Written by Jennifer Frakes and featured in the October/November 2015 issue of 92130 Magazine.

At the San Diego Art Loft, owner and artist Elissa Lieberman Krasenbaum’s mission is to educate students on the many languages of drawing and painting while cultivating a creative community. “I hope to encourage students to trust their innate abilities in the face of self-doubt by being willing to see in new ways. Even if a student never picks up a pencil or brush again, I hope that through art they have learned about problem-solving, mindfulness, and perseverance,” related Elissa. San Diego Art Loft offers lessons and classes in drawing and painting for students ranging from ten years old to adults of all ages.

After teaching for many years at the college and adult level, managing a museum art school, and teaching children, Elissa has discovered that the same principles must be taught across all ages. Although the delivery of the instruction varies depending on the age group in a class, Elissa keeps the fundamentals of instruction the same. “Drawing and painting require new ways of seeing. My real gift is becoming a guide and partner to a student to give them a challenging but rewarding learning experience,” explained Elissa, who has extensive experience as an artist, art teacher, and art studio manager. Her background and passion for teaching allow her to connect with students of all ages and abilities, especially those who want to challenge themselves with learning something new.
