“My girls have been taking lessons with Talia for six years. Talia is an amazing and inspirational teacher! Not only does she teach different techniques and different media, she also teaches theory and encourages creativity through music. From collages to Venetian masks, from Art Institute excursions to the final exhibition at the end of the year, each lesson is thoughtful and inspiring. Thank you Talia for developing my girls and inspiring them to think outside the box and see the beauty of this wonderful world!”

“I have been attending Talia Prilutsky Art classes for Adults for 2 years. Never in my life was I able to draw a simple object. I have been referred to Talia by one of her students and I have to admit that her painting class program is very successful. Talia is an excellent tutor who makes her painting lessons most enjoyable, creative and the progress of her students is amazing. She is able to convey her instructions with subtle details and guide her students through the class process to a very beautiful and satisfactory result. Anyone can see our paintings in at Talia’s Art Studio in the Facebook and you will be very much surprised that all our paintings have been completed during one session. As a teacher, Talia has a most positive and encouraging personality. She also develops our understanding and appreciation of Fine Arts. I highly recommend Talia.”

“For me it is a happy opportunity to touch the work of great artists and learn to the best of my ability to draw. That’s exactly what I get in class. Professionalism, the ability to explain and show – this is all inherent in Talia.”
Larisa Semenova
“I really like creativity of our teacher and how patient she is with the kids. She is very kind and our kids love to go to her classes. I also enjoy that she takes kids to various field trips, and one of my favorite is to the Art Museum as kids learn art history surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of paintings. What I also find important is that she always try to learn something new herself and her continuing education let’s her be on top of her professional field.”

“Talia is an amazing art teacher. My daughter who is 12 now enjoys her art classes for over 5 years. She is looking forward every class. Talia not only teaches kids to draw, different art techniques, etc, but also history or arts and famous artists while kids are working on their projects. Would highly recommend!”

“While exploring various forms of art and artists with her students, Talia strives to bring out artistic individuality in every kid. That’s why the works of her students are so incredibly diverse. Her classes are an amazing balance of classical art training and unleashing the students’ imagination and freedom of expression. We do color-wheel, value scale, and perspective studies, draw self-portraits and still life. We copy the works of great masters and we create our own mimicking various art and artists’ styles and then we create crazy collages and abstract drawings or even abstract 3-D installations at Home Depot to find the balance of shapes and colors and just to see where our imagination might take us. And we love the atmosphere of Talia’s classes— it is very happy, and it is also very peaceful and calm despite the very fast learning pace and the great variety of topics covered. It takes us away from everyday worries into a very different world where we can enjoy becoming artists, concentrate on very little details or on very big ideas, realize the merits of hard work and focus and enjoy the results, explore the depth and beauty of things around us and tap into the depths and beauty of our own imagination.”
