Children's Class
 Barbara Yeterian has been teaching children and teenagers in her New Jersey studio for many years and has developed a large following in the Bergen County area. She graduated from Parsons School of Design and New York University, where she earned B.S. and M.A. degrees. She studied drawing and painting at several schools, including the University of California, the San Francisco Art Institute, the School of Visual Arts and at the Art Students League, working with Vincent Malta, Andrew Lukach, Rudolf Baranik, Frank O'Cain and John Hultberg.
Ms.Yeterian's paintings have been exhibited in galleries throughout the United States and Russia. In 1996, she was a winner in two national painting competitions. Ms.Yeterian's works are owned by institutions and private collectors. In 2001, four of her Genocide series of paintings were accepted into the Legacy Project funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.
In her teaching, the artist takes pride in helping each individual develop his or her
unique potential as well as learn the basic skills of drawing and painting. The importance
and impact of design, composition and the use of color in achieving a successful work of
art are also stressed. Students learn how to handle a variety of media and are introduced
to the works of well-known masters.
The following statement was written by John Hultberg: "I feel very close to the powerful emotion in her energetic, dramatic, and sometimes tragic oils. Her sensuous paint storms are not ashamed to tell specific stories. I think that this skill in story drama is what makes her an effective teacher of children and I believe this approach would be a refreshing innovation in Art Students League children's classes."
