Dr. Robert Edwards - Art Lessons
For thirteen years, Dr. Edwards was the Visual Arts teacher for both the Middle and Senior Schools of Sewickley Academy, and since 2016 he has continued to teach privately in his personal studio in Bell Acres. Many of his past students have been both Congressional and Scholastic Art Award winners, have exhibited their artworks publicly in local art galleries, and have been accepted to many of the nation’s prestigious art and design programs.
Dr. Robert Edwards now offers private drawing and painting lessons for those students and adults who are interested in attending late afternoon and weekend atelier classes. These classes aim to introduce interested students to the methodology and techniques of classical, representational drawing and painting, as practiced historically by the Renaissance and Modern Masters. For further information please contact Dr. Edwards at 412-749-9427, email robert.monroe.edwards@gmail.com, or see examples of his work on drawnandquartered.com.
