OUR PHiLOSOPHY
Kids who love to draw want more than they can get in a school
classroom setting.
This observation fueled the Line Upon Line approach to art
instruction. My
passion is to provide an environment that challenges and equips students ages 9 through
18 who have a hunger to expand their drawing
and art skills. In small class settings of 6-10 students, a systematic foundation of art
and drawing fundamentals is laid through various exercises and
projects. The result is students achieving growth, success and
confidence in their artistic endeavors. Classes include exercises in life
drawing and still life, as well as outdoor sketching as weather permits.
ABOUT THE TEACHER
As a child, Cathy Feeman
always loved drawing. After receiving
various High School art competition awards, she received a scholarship
from Psi Iota Chi and attended The American Academy of Art
in Chicago, where she majored in
Illustration. After a 2-year apprenticeship with a Chicago art studio,
she spent 12 years as a
Chicago freelance illustrator,
and was chosen to participate in the Air Force Art Program.
In
1995, seeing the need for an Art program at the school her children attended, she accepted the position
as the art teacher for Cornerstone
Christian School in
South Chicago Heights. She continued as a
freelance illustrator while teaching art classes for the next five years for students in Kindergarten through 8th
grade, with an additional class for High School students. During that
time she also taught 1st through 8th
grade art students at Deer Creek School in
University Park.
Cathy now resides in Highland, Indiana with her husband and two
children.
