Art Coaching for Creative Students.
Build a strong portfolio.
Your student’s work doesn’t develop on its own.
Your student needs structure, feedback, and next steps.
Without it, portfolios often feel incomplete.
Art coaching builds work over time.
Each piece improves with feedback.

✔︎ Art coaching is ongoing, one on one guidance.
✔︎ Each piece is reviewed and improved through critique.
✔︎ The work reflects how your student thinks.
“Suzanne met with me in zoom once a week for an hour and taught me the basics of how to draw. First we started out with drawing shapes and worked our way up to still lives and drawing from life. Suzanne helped me make portfolios for National Portfolio Day and my college applications. Suzanne mainly talked to me and helped me work through my projects. She also informed me on which materials artists use for their art pieces, including which paper, pencils, blenders, and erasers. I appreciate that Suzanne primarily worked with me and not my parents.”
“We felt that this experience was definitely worth the investment. We didn’t even know where to begin to get the portfolio process started. Lisa and Abigail worked well with Izzy. They were encouraging and got her to create more pieces for the portfolio to make it stronger. We really couldn’t have done this without ARTiculate. ”
Students meet regularly.
Each session builds on the last.
This consistency is what drives progress.
Students get better over time.
They know what to work on next.

✔︎ The work is guided each step.
✔︎ Art coaching helps students develop how they think about their work.
✔︎ The goal is not to make more work. It is to build work that shows how your student thinks, creates, designs.
“Adam has been wonderful and Dylan plans to continue working with him over the summer before starting college. He’s learning so much and improving his skills.”
“We are really grateful for the guidance and support both Laura and Florence provided to Maithili to get her prepared to apply to design and architecture colleges! When we found Articulate, it was already late spring of my daughter’s junior year and there was a lot of work to be done. But Laura and Florence gave her the confidence to achieve her goals. Their process was structured, disciplined and put accountability on the student. Their calm and collected manner helped my daughter navigate through many deadlines, decisions. Florence supported us through the college list and ED/EA decision and it was very valuable. We cannot thank them enough and highly recommend to all parents and students who want to pursue the path for art, design, architecture and allied disciplines. Thank you, Laura (Mrs. McFaden) and Florence and the Articulate team. ”
Work comes together piece by piece.
And becomes a strong portfolio!
✔︎ The work comes together through practice and feedback. It becomes a portfolio that clearly shows who your student is.
✔︎ Each school has different expectations. The work is shaped to meet those requirements.
✔︎ The final work shows both skill and direction. Admissions can clearly understand your student and their work.
