DRAW + PAINT Class

Instructor: Ms. Bibi (Beatriz Marti)

About Ms. Bibi: 

I grew up in Los Angeles, where I went to Catholic elementary and high schools. I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Art. I later obtained my credential from San Francisco State University and am currently in a Master’s program in Education at SFSU. 

I am Cuban -American and Spanish is my first language. I’ve been making art since a very young age, and continue to do so; my media are mostly painting and printmaking, though lately I’ve started branching out to sculpture, too.  All media and art is fascinating to me, and working with students to build their interest in art and art history is a passion of mine.

I live in San Francisco with my husband, who is also a high school teacher, and my two children, who attend SFUSD. 

I look forward to getting to know you and positively support your art-making.  

Class Description: 

Drawing and Painting is an introductory art class where we study technical and expressive manners of the art process.  By establishing a solid technical foundation, we can better transmit our ideas and emotions through the art we make.

The basic structure of the class is to grow a base of structural and linear perspective, together with other drawing techniques, to better understand how forms are drawn and shaded.  From there, we move on to more artistic or expressive techniques and projects, where students have more opportunities to demonstrate their ideas through the use of the learned techniques. 

The ultimate goal is to use what we have learned as a way to express big ideas and concepts that we can share with others. 

• Please make an appointment with me to ask questions or talk over concerns about the class and the assignments.  I am also always available to talk after class!
