Hello,
My name is Malone and I am an Art Instructor with over twenty-five years of experience teaching diverse forms of visual arts techniques, methods, and subjects and who enjoys teaching students of all ages.
I live in the Fort Worth, Texas area. I hold a Master of Fine Arts degree and a Diploma in Graphic Arts. While much of my personal artwork is traditionally realistic and representational, I appreciate and am fluent in all styles and schools of artistic expression.
In addition to being an art instructor, I am a full-time self-employed professional illustrator and fine artist. As an illustrator, I create covers and interior art for books, graphic design, and I have created cartoon artwork for companies such as Marvel and DC Comics. My work has received numerous awards including one from the New York Society of Illustrators. As a fine artist, I am a commissioned portrait painter and I also create personal artwork for gallery representation which consists of a wide range of subject matter.
I have been an Adjunct Art Professor with the Tarrant County College District where I taught Drawing and Painting courses from Spring semester 2010 until the 2019 Summer semester. Currently, I teach at another local college.
I have assisted a number of my students with the development of their art portfolios which has not only helped them to be admitted into the art school of their choice, but has enabled many of them to receive scholarships, as well.
I have been a tutor with WyzAnt for some time now and this has been a wonderful learning experience for my students and truly one of the most rewarding experiences of my life!
I will be very happy to share with you examples of my artwork, examples of artwork created by my students, as well as to explain my specific teaching approaches. Most importantly, I will discuss how I can enable you to accomplish your particular artistic pursuits.

Art is my passion, and I would love to share that passion with you!

Sincerely,
Malone

Art History

Art History

I believe that a knowledge of Art History is extremely important to better understand mankind and the diverse cultures of our world. I have been a lifelong student of Art History and I co-majored in Art History while working toward my Master of Fine Arts degree. I am extremely knowledgeable of all Art Historical time periods and artistic genres, as well as of the artists who contributed to them. As a public high school Art Teacher, I very successfully taught Basic and Advanced Placement Art History. And, I also had the wonderful opportunity to teach High School Art History in the prestigious International Baccalaureate program. I always strive to not only give my students an understanding of the development of Art from Prehistory through today, but to impart a working knowledge of the relevant styles and techniques used to create art. In order to accomplish this, I often supplement my lectured information with related, fun hands-on art activities which enable my students to better comprehend the concepts and methodology which artists have used to express themselves throughout the ages. I discuss the theories of Aesthetics: how and why different cultures have formed and expressed their own standards of beauty. Additionally, and very importantly, I teach approaches to Critiquing Artwork so that my students can make and present informed opinions regarding works of art, regardless of style or technique. My goal is for all of my Art History students to be able to intelligently and to eloquently discuss Art History whether it is for a research writing assignment, a verbal classroom presentation, to prepare for an exam, a museum visit, in a gallery setting, during friendly discourse, or simply for personal edification.
Art Theory

Art Theory

For many years, I have had great success with introducing the concepts of formal Art Theory to my students which enables them to clearly and aesthetically express their own individual artistic statements. I emphasize to them that the use of the Elements of Art in conjunction with the Principles of Design is the means to making their artistic statements regardless of the style, content, genre, or subject matter of their particular works. Additionally, I share with my students approaches to Art Criticism Operations which not only allow them to use their aesthetic awareness to make informed opinions about art created by other artists but which also serves as a means of evaluating their own efforts during, as well as after the resolution of their artwork.
Drawing

Drawing

I pride myself in teaching time honored, traditional Drawing concepts in a contemporary manner. I use approaches to drawing which enable my students to express themselves through the use of Line, Shape, Value, Size, Direction, Texture, and even Color! I personally work in diverse technical modes and genres of self expression. And, I have had the wonderful opportunity to study with and be mentored by renowned drawing instructors and artists such as Glenn Vilppu, Burne Hogarth, Gene Colan, and Joseph Sheppard. I was an honor graduate of the renowned Kubert School, and I have been a professional practitioner and teacher of cartoon art for more than twenty years. I will always truly enjoy sharing with others all of the many disciplines which I have learned. But my ultimate goal as a teacher is to help my students to eventually become their own teacher.
Painting

Painting

Regardless of style or subject matter, I know that the principles and techniques of Painting can be taught and can be learned by anyone who is willing to patiently persevere while practicing traditionally time honored procedures, methodology, and approaches. Learning in this manner will serve as the springboard for anyone's chosen means of personal self expression. And, I have always been amazed at how effectively these principles and techniques produce their intended aesthetic results when applied with diligence, knowledge, and understanding. My paintings have garnered prestigious awards, have been shown in many galleries, and have been featured on the covers of numerous books. They are created using the very concepts, principles, and techniques which I teach. While much of my work tends to be traditionally realistic, my intention is to help each of my students find and express his or her own individual artistic voice. I have had the wonderful experience to study with and to be mentored by renowned artists, among them the master oil painter and pastelist Daniel E. Greene, as well as Boris Vallejo and his wife Julie Bell, both of whom are acknowledged as two of the world's top Fantasy Illustrators.

A Superb Mentor

For the past few weeks now, Mr. Malone has been giving me lessons in anatomy, value, rendering, perspective, and he has also been helping me build my portfolio for entry into an art school. I am extremely impressed by his body of work and experience, and I can hardly find the words to express how grateful I am to have the chance to work with an artist such as himself. It's been a truly invigorating experience, and has helped rekindle my passion for drawing, painting, and art in general. For the line of work I'm interested in going into (animation/game art), he's the perfect fit for my needs as a growing artist. For anyone interested in finding a teacher who will sit down with you one-on-one, and very patiently explain everything from the basics to refined technique and practice, and also if you just want a highly experienced mind to pick for advice, I strongly recommend Mr. Malone S. You will not regret it.

The golden standard of knowledge and wisdom

Finding Mr. Malone is a true blessing. His instructional method is thorough and detailed, without skipping over any parts of the learning process. His experience as an academic instructor and proven training with many artists shows in how he applies his knowledge. He tailors his lessons to the student, and as such it illustrates his dedication and passion for teaching each student and identifying their individual needs. It is almost unreal to believe that a teacher such as him even exists, and we could not be more grateful. He takes his time with students, never rushing and always willing to spend extra time with them without hesitation. I truly believe if he is a of the great artists of the contemporary era, being so generous as to pass down his years of wisdom and expertise to ensure there are no gaps in a student's education. Not to mention he is a great conversationalist, with a kind, friendly, and caring personality, helping shy students break free from their shell and express themselves on paper. He honors all of his commitments and goes above and beyond, and does not shy away from over delivering on each of his lessons. I feel like I owe him way more money considering the quality of his work and the value he provides. He begins with the very basics on structuring artistic pieces, and works his way up rather than swarming you with information which was a concern with previous tutors. I was nervous to seek out a tutor before we found Mr. Malone, because we never experienced a tutor that met our hopes and standards. Mr. Malone came into our lives and completely revolutionizes our view on what a teacher can and should be; he is a golden standard. I am proud to say that we will take his guidance with us in all aspects of our life, and my aspiring artist is more galvanized than ever to create pieces that utilize his greatest skills, since we have found the real deal. We hope to inspire other students in the same way Mr. Malone has inspired us, teachers like this are difficult to find. Thank you Mr. Malone, here is to many more great lessons! We are grateful for all you have done for us so far and cannot wait to embark on more art journies with you. A true blessing!!

A Gold Mine of Art Knowledge and Wisdom

This is my first time having any kind of art instruction ever since picking up a pencil to draw as a young girl and I have to say that I truly have struck gold in finding someone like Malone. Truly a dime in a dozen. His vast training and experience with so many great artists lends to a conglomeration of powerful instruction and wisdom that is really equipping me to become the artist I have always wanted to be. Malone truly cares about his students, and his willingness to go above and beyond, to spend time with you and make sure you truly understand what he is teaching is just amazing. He is very kind and patient, instructional and wanting to give as much feedback and wisdom as possible, which really equips and encourages me on my own art journey. I’m truly so happy and excited to have someone like Malone on my team to guide and instruct in all things art related.

excellent instruction

The classes are informative and the instructor is very talented. Not everyone that is a good artist can teach, but Malone can teach like a true professor I have had in college. Thank you for your patience! Your instruction has already made a difference for my drawings and understanding of what to practice next. And
