Jason Budowski

I am an art teacher based out of Pacifica, CA. I’ve had the unique privilege of teaching 5th through 8th graders and developing content that challenges my students at each level as they get older and learn to see the world around them. I have a BA from UC Davis in Fine Art, have learned from Wayne Thiebaud, and have been trained in classical realism from various instructors, and was in the de Young Open in 2023. I created Bay Area At School because there is a growing need with kids and teenagers to create outstanding art. I teach a modified method of classical realism that I’ve developed to allow all my students to be able to draw well and keep it fun. I am a can-do teacher and will always have an answer. That’s a big statement but I stand by my method: Learn the basics and learn to draw anything!
