Testimonials

"Lyudmila has to be the most beautiful soul with a passion for art. She has a natural gift when it comes to sharing her knowledge, experience and expertise of art. If you were to ask our daughter who STILL makes time during her busy college career to meet with Lyudmila, she would say it’s the highlight of her week and therapy she craves." - Erica

"Lyudmila made me fall in love with art! I started classes with her at age 13 and I still come to class with her now once a week at age 22 as a college student. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and the integration of art history with fun projects was such a good experience for me!  She is so sweet and such a good teacher. The technique she teaches on how to use all mediums in art allowed me to succeed in my art major in college." - Cameron

"Lyudmila, you always bring such gentleness and precision, love and skill and artfulness into your teaching! Each week, from elementary school through twelfth grade, our daughter eagerly anticipated her time at Harte School of Art -- and would bounce down your steps with beautifully enriched ways of creating and seeing. Because of you, she began keeping a sketchbook, which has since become an art-practice space, emotional outlet, and field journal. Through your gentle guidance, she has learned to approach creative projects with curiosity, plan-fullness, and an eye for beauty." - Naomi

"Harte School of Art is a space of creativity and positivity. This is because the instructor, Lyudmila, embodies these qualities. I cannot thank her enough for providing this peaceful refuge for my daughter to explore art and experience beauty." - Tamar

"Our daughter Esmé began at the Harte School of Art as a second grader, and now she’s a senior. Mrs. Harte has taught her so much, has encouraged her to follow her creative vision, and has fostered an environment where students can find belonging and friendship as they practice a wide range of skills and learn about art history. Mrs. Harte has been such a gift to our daughter and to us, as a teacher and as an inquisitive, supportive, creative, and kind person. We’re grateful we found her and her school!" - Cory and Bryan

"My memories from my time at The Harte School of Art are some of my favorite! I loved getting to show up to class and learn about art history while getting to create beautiful pieces of art. My classes were always filled with friendship and great conversation, making the time pass too quickly. Lyudmila’s encouragement and expertise on art (and life in general) will stick with me always." - Grace
