About Emily

Hello there! I am Emily Ingram-Patel, an art and creativity instructor.

I have been teaching art online for 3 years now, and I have come to really love it. I work mostly with kids ages 7-11, but the full age range I have worked with throughout my career is 3 years old to 70+ years old!

I have been creating art my whole life, but I really got into it when I got my Associate's Degree in Art in 2016. Since then, I have been refining my skills, teaching, and I've even illustrated a short graphic novel, titled "RIP Corey: my friend died and it SUCKS!" written and created by Chris Buchanan MA CCC-SLP.

I really love creating art, but I love teaching it even more. I live for the "Aha!" moments my students have, when they achieve a new skill, gain a new sense of confidence, or learn something about the natural world they didn't know before. Please feel free to browse my this website profile, or better yet, check out my website ((concealed information) I hope to hear from you!

I started assistant-teaching dance when I was about 12 years old and I really enjoyed leading and helping dancers. As I got older and more in touch with my creativity, I really enjoyed sharing my creative visions with others. Since then, I've had several teaching jobs and consistently began teaching art in 2020.

I earned my Associate's degree in Studio Art in 2016. The program was very heavy on understanding design and art techniques, but also focused on building creativity skills and style. I also practiced and learned art techniques from my grandmother throughout my life--she was also a professional art instructor.

I have years of experience in teaching individuals and groups. I mostly work with children ages 7-11, but I have worked with students as young as 3 and older than 70.

About the lesson

Art is personal, so I tailor lessons to my students' interests and styles. I begin by getting to know them and what they want to learn, then I choose subject matter and lessons that I think will help them gain new skills, improve their weaknesses, and boost their creativity (if that's what they're interested in).

I have worked mostly with children of elementary-middle school ages, but I also work with adults. My lessons are best suited for beginner-level artists with little to no knowledge of art techniques to intermediate-level artists with moderate knowledge and experience.

Look for an instructor who will give constructive criticism without crushing your spirit. There are elements that make art more visually appealing and/or clearer to the eye, but art needs to speak to you as the artist, or else why are you making it? Some art instructors can be blunt and disrespectful, but art is extremely personal--they're doing their job wrong if they're making you feel like your art is "wrong."

In 2020, my aunt's friend was trying to find something to do for her daughter's birthday party while still maintaining social distancing guidelines. My aunt recommended me for a virtual paint party. I created a composition for the kids and taught it to them over Zoom. I really enjoyed giving the kids a way to have some fun learning time with each other and make nice paintings.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are your interests? You'll want to create pieces that cater to your likes and style.

What do you think you need help with? Think about some areas in which you want to improve and share them with your instructor.

How do you handle suggestions and criticism? It's okay if you have a hard time accepting them, but a good teacher knows that art is in the eye of the beholder/artist and won't say something with the intention of hurting your feelings. If you have trouble accepting suggestions and criticism, let your instructor know that ahead of time so that they can instruct you in a way that feels more comfortable to you.

Emily plans a fun activity with material lists and important details well in advance of the lesson. She is also excellent with her communication and checks in to make sure everyone is on track. The lesson is easy to follow. She offered individual advice as needed and can work with people from beginner to more advanced. Emily is very thoughtful and makes sure that everyone in the class has time to ask questions and learn from one another. I have taken two painting classes with Emily and my skills have grown each time. Thank you Emily for offering these great paint classes to develop our skills and confidence.
