 Sophie Plassard opened La Jolla Art Studio in order to provide a foundation in the fundamentals of art, while fostering a sense of creativity and personal expression in students. She is a graduate of l’Ecole Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Duperré à Paris, where her studies encompassed drawing and painting, sculpture, engraving, and graphic arts. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Paris and Antibes, France; California, and Florida, and is held in private collections in Europe and the U.S. After directing an art school in Gainesville, Florida for five years, Sophie launched the La Jolla Art Studio in 1994, offering classes to children ages 5 to 17, as well as private lessons for adults. Visual arts studies open doors that can empower a student, helping them to develop confidence and individuality by embracing both the intuitive and the rational. In her classes she utilizes two different organizational techniques: though she believes that subjects such as still life, portraiture, figure sketching, and perspective work best in groups, Sophie also encourages students to pursue projects of their own choosing. Along the way, she presents many options to unfold and enrich their initiatives, utilizing decision-making as an intrinsic part of the creative process. In refining the skills of observation, and learning how to convey ideas improvisationally, students develop a unique and personal sense of artistic expression. Many La Jolla Art Studio students have won regional and statewide art competitions, and several have pursued college and professional visual arts careers. Limiting class size to seven students ensures that there is ample time for individual attention. Follow your inspiration, expand your skills, and explore your creativity at La Jolla Art Studio. |
