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.

Inspiring Teacher

With Malone I love how with every session I get to further cement everything I have been learning in all of our previous lessons. I feel my creative juices coming out more as I further develop in each class. Malone continues to make things very approachable and easy to comprehend, and is always willing to reiterate and further reinforce any of my weak areas. As I work towards personal art goals, I’m enjoying and deeply encouraged to have Malone on my team!

Amazing teacher

Malone is an incredibly talented analytical teacher that is able to break down drawing into easy to understand pieces that build upon themselves. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn or perfect their drawing skills.
