Good drawing/painting teacher for advanced 11 year old

Dear BPN Parents,

We recently moved to Oakland and are looking for a good drawing/painting class or private lesson provider tailored for age 11 or above. My son started the drawing lesson about 7 years ago and he has strong interest and is in advance class comparing to his peers.  Any recommendation in Berkeley, Albany, Oakland or other neighborhood area is greatly appreciated!

Hi! I know of a great art teacher who just moved to the Bay Area. She’s an artist/illustrator with a background in Fine Art and a Masters in Education — she taught in a school setting in NYC for 7 years before moving out here. She’s fabulous with young artists! Her email is albertzoe1 [at] gmail.com

Classes taught by Olivia would be great for an advanced student. She’s an amazing teaching artist. My child has taken a class with her and another with a teacher who was younger and had less experience. The latter would have been a fine class for a beginning artist but was too basic for my kid. Olivia is great at teaching beginner and advanced students.
