Class Descriptions:
Ages 7–11 (Beginners – Fun Projects)
This two-hour class includes all materials, step-by-step instructions, and guidance throughout. Various activities are listed in our class section.
Ages 11–15 (Intermediate – Mixed Media)
This two-hour class allows students to explore different artistic mediums and techniques, helping them discover new ways to create art. Mixed Media can mean any form of art, including yarn, painting, and any other form of art.
Ages 11–16 (All Levels – Painting)
This three-hour class focuses primarily on acrylic painting, covering a variety of subjects such as landscapes, animals, and objects. Students will learn different painting techniques and complete a finished piece to take home every class.
Ages 12–17 (Advanced – Focus on More Advanced Concepts)
For this two-hour class, we recommend that students already have a strong foundation in art to get the most out of the session. This class covers advanced concepts and techniques to further develop artistic skills, including perspective drawing, life drawing, portraits, dynamic posing, and more. If your child is considering a career in the arts, or wishes to further their knowledge this is a great step forward. Please note: This is not a portfolio-building class but it does contain content reflected in an art portfolio.
