    More about your Teacher ella Taub

    ella Taub

    I am a professional sculptor and art educator with over ten years of experience teaching clay sculpting and artistic life model studies. My practice is rooted in classical sculpture, anatomy, and material-based exploration of the human form. I have taught thousands of students through independent studios, cultural institutions, and art programs, working with artists at different stages of their professional development.

    My teaching focuses on observation, form, proportion, and sensitivity to material, using the human body as a traditional and academic reference, similar to practices found in art schools and museums worldwide. My work and classes are strictly educational, intended for adult students, and grounded in respect, professionalism, and artistic integrity.

    Alongside teaching, I maintain an active artistic practice, creating sculptural works and immersive projects that explore time, material history, and the relationship between body and form. My work aims to create thoughtful, safe, and meaningful spaces for learning, artistic growth, and creative exchange.
