Aarah Aizman is an Minneapolis artist and international educator and grew up among musicians, painters, inventors, and gardeners.  Aizman lectures and conducts workshops and talks throughout the U.S. and beyond, covering topics such as Watercolor and Going with the Flow;  Playing in the Clay;  How to Paint Fast, Loose, & Bold;  and The Truth about Creativity. Her own artwork is known for its bold use of color and uninhibited brushwork.  She is passionate about revealing beauty in the world with a decisive style that is both intense and contemporary.  "I pay close attention to the energy and movement in and around my subject and the interplay of light and shadow," Aizman explains. "These are the key elements that uncover the essence and translate a sense of  'alive' in my paintings that people seem to like."  

Aarah has a B.A. in Art & Community with a focus on the practical implications of the psychological and spiritual nature of creativity.  She fosters originality by creating a safe environment and drives meaningful conversations using art as a metaphor in understanding life. In doing so, she engages her students in a wide array of mediums, demonstrating how to identify and respect each medium's own unique set of strengths, limitations, and vulnerabilities. "Honoring unexpected outcomes plays a big role in the creative process," Aizman goes on to admit that "art is the real teacher in the classroom."

Artist
Bais Yaakov High School
Students of Bais Yaakov are challenged with a text-based dual curriculum. As their art teacher, my passion is to bring lessons learned in class into a personal realm, making it relevant. The abstract nature of art and our conversations surrounding it lend itself very well to this. Exciting things happen.
