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.

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.

wonderful elaborator

I always walk away from my lessons with Malone with a wealth of incredibly helpful information I can put into practice. He is the best at narrowing down areas of weaknesses and helping to target areas of weakness. I look forward to our lessons each time because he is very good at elaborating on what areas of my practice in figure drawing that I can focus on to help me reach my personal art goals. No session with Malone is ever wasted, he’s the best art instructor you could possibly find!

Timely Lesson

Getting to gather for a lesson with Malone is always so insightful and something I always looks forward to. He is very in tune with my strengths and weaknesses and going back to the basics of the proportions and learning more about anatomy is setting me up greatly to pursue my personal art goals. It’s a great blessing to have a wonderful instructor like Malone who is always ready to help you learn exactly what you need in order to grow in your art journey. You simply can’t go wrong with having him as an art mentor!

Dear Whoopi, It's so kind of you to forward this wonderful response! I always "taylor" my lessons to both my student's strengths and what they need to strengthen. You are a receptive and extremely diligent and receptive person which enables you to make steady progress. And, your efforts are paying off through the excellent work which you accomplish from lesson to lesson. Thanks again for taking the time to sharing this much appreciated comment! Sincerely, Malone

World Class Teacher

I’ve gradually been able to come up with my own system of drawing over the course of my lessons with Malone, and it has really been amazing to see how his lessons have all come together in my mind and subsequently on the page. If you truly listen and take in what he says, and practice on exactly the manner that he teaches, you will undoubtedly see results in the way I have been able to see. With each lesson he provides more nuance to the same topic, that you can then build on what you learn in your previous lesson from him. Malone to me is truly are world class art teacher. He brings together all concepts of drawing, and art in general, together in such a way that it brings everything to so much greater light and clarity than you can honestly possibly try and do on your own. Many art tip and instructions I have previously heard in the past has NOT made sense as a whole, until Malone masterfully started teaching me how to put all these drawing concepts together in such a way as to bring art to life on a page. I’m truly blessed to have Malone as my art teacher and guide.

Best teacher to help with your weak areas

Sometimes it’s easy as an artist to get stuck on a certain path of thinking and having an instructor who is able to accurately and succinctly highlight your weak points is incredibly valuable. Malone is wonderful at helping me recognize and understand areas that I’m still struggling with and encourage me to focus on working and improving in those areas. It’s always an amazing learning opportunity for me in those moments, and anyone who works with Malone will reap the benefits as much as I do every time.
