Answer 1

Unless you are good friends with one and can repay them with favours, you won't find anyone who will teach you for free. Teachers need to earn a living, you know!

If you want to learn art without paying for it, you'll have to teach yourself. There are plenty of free lessons online and other good resources to help you do so - you could try a site like http://www.drawspace.com for starters. It's also a good idea to join communities of artists like that one and Deviantart.com and so on - you can get feedback on your work from skilled artists that way, which is the next best thing to having a teacher with you.

If you can stretch to buying a few books, I recommend Burne Hogarth and Andrew Loomis.

Good luck!

I agree with the first post, you won't find a free art teacher.  Your best bet is to enroll in a parks and recreation class, or find a civic center that offers art classes.  

but, being in Chicago, you have a couple great galleries and museums that might be able to help you too.  Why not find a local art museum and see if they offer classes, and help with tuition?
