Summary of the Instructor's Background: ( You can read John's complete biography at wwww.johnhelmsgallery.com/biography.htm ) John taught watercolor, oil, and acrylic classes at Michaels Arts and Craft store in Eastgate Shopping Center in Memphis, Tennessee for a year and four months, before he had a serious auto accident in June of 2007. John received his formal education at Mississippi College, the University of Memphis, and Memphis College of Arts. In the 70's He started teaching adult watercolor, oil, and drawing classes at various churches and community centers throughout the Memphis area and first got recognition for his rural watercolor landscape paintings in the early 70's and soon gained a following. His work is in many public and private collections Nation-wide. He is now teaching acrylic classes at Hobby Lobby in Bartlett, TN. and Michaels in Olive Branch, MS and Collierville,TN. John's Approach To Teaching: Since I learned fine art the 'old school' method, I teach the 'classical style' of art from the ground up so my students have a firm foundation for painting and a better understanding of what color theory and mixing paint is all about before they even paint a picture, and my students are having fun at the same time."
