Nataliya Pryzant is a local artist, originally from Ukraine. She studied art in Kiev Academy of Art, which she graduated from in 1990 with honors. Nataliya participated in a lot of Europian art shows, has been traveling around the world and finally has resided in Ann Arbor.

She lives here last 21 years, creating her paintings and teaching art at Rudolf Steiner High School. Nataliya has a broad variety of interests; she loves to explore new techniques and medias. You can see her painting, sculpturing, making stained glass panels, carving stones, making prints and much more. She is mostly interested in the exploring people’s inside and brining soul in the portrait drawing and painting. She loves to draw ingenuous, natural, joyful faces of the youth and wise and beaten with life older people. She sees beauty in everything and brings it to us in form of her paintings.

 


Look at the samples of her artworks at www.natka.net and http://rushinart.com/index.php/my-works


She is happy to pass her knowledge and artistic skills of more than 30 years to future generation and share it with her own generation. She has been teaching for more than 25 years and knows her way around children. She has individual approach to each student, can feel the strong and weak spots in her or his artistic skills and does the magic of turning weaknesses in strengths. She is very open-minded and let kids and adults express their feelings and visions in their unique way, instead of pursuing her own opinion as a rule. Kids love to come to her place, feeling safe as at home, excited about trying something new every class, confident in producing something memorable and sure that they will get as much help as they need any time they need it.

Rush In Art Academy provides quality academic art training for kids 6-year-old and older. We hold group art classes for kids and teens and private classes for adults. We help with creating art portfolios for colleges. You can celebrate birthdays with us and spend school breaks and summer with us.

Rush In Art Academy uses a very classical academic approach to teaching drawing, painting, sculpture, composition, calligraphy, stained glass, pottery on the wheel, jewelry, mosaic and silk painting.

The lesson plans include short story, depends on a topic, instructions, demonstration and practical stage, when students produce their own art works. Step by step instruction, individual approach, teachers’ samples for every subject and the samples from their peers allow students to succeed at any level of their skills. If you plan for continues education, we will start with basis of realistic study and gradually bring you to the master level. We will teach you or your kid to express yourself or him/her self independently.

We have ongoing classes with a break only for major holidays. Classes are built around all kind of different topics and techniques rotated. All special art techniques classes happen during school breaks and summer. We can also do it any time with preformed group of yours by your request. The same is true for home school groups.

We have a lot of ready projects for the art educators with detailed instructions, samples and the list of materials needed.

Rush In Art Academy is home-based studio in Ann Arbor. The teaching is happening in very informal friendly environment in small cozy groups by a professional artist and teacher of many years who gets her master’s degree in Fine Art in Russia, the motherland of realistic drawing and painting.

The project kids produce in the class are always original! No coloring books, crafts and cut and paste projects! Although, for younger kids we use carrot and stick approach: original pre-drawing first and millions of known medias, techniques and materials on the top of that pre-drawing, second. The classes are 2-hour long and in order to keep young kids focused we make them switch the attention to different aspects of multi-stepped projects couple times per class. We keep EVERYBODY happy!
