Lisa Bisbee created video lessons on youtube to teach the elements and principles of design in drawing and painting.
A graduate of Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), she describes the learning experience, "It's a time to develop your imagination, relax, and enjoy the creative process with a little guidance from a professional artist."
Pointing out that creativity enhances mental health, Lisa explains, "Often it can be used as a meditation or therapy as a coping skill. In these uncertain times, we all need outlets where we can feel good expressing ourselves as we deal with the challenges of stress and anxiety."
Lisa Bisbee has taught Art & Design classes to individuals of all ages. She taught the basics of graphic design at the Art Advertising Academy in Cincinnati, Ohio; and in Denver, CO, at the Denver Institute of Technology. She taught elementary art classes to children in kindergarten through 8th grade in the Carteret County public school system. In Vancouver, Canada, she gave drawing and painting workshops to pre-schoolers and up to 80+ years of age.
