Welcome to our exciting art program, where vision and imagination know no bounds!
Available to all skill levels and ages, from K to adults. Dive into the colorful world of drawing and painting with our carefully crafted curriculum, designed to inspire and empower students to unleash their inner artist. From beginner drawing classes, to acrylic painting, there is something for everyone!
Through hands-on instruction, students will develop essential skills and unlock their creativity. The art classes offered cater to students of different grade levels, providing them with a platform to develop their artistic skills. Beginning with fundamental concepts like lines, shapes, and colors, these classes aim to equip students with a strong foundation in art!
For younger students in grades K-3, the focus is on building proficiency through drawing, painting, color mixing, along with printmaking and sculpting clay. As students progress to grades 4-6, they delve deeper into drawing techniques and color theory, eventually leading to an introduction to acrylic painting. Acrylic painting classes offer students the opportunity to explore the color wheel, mix colors, and paint from silhouettes or life, all while gaining an understanding of artistic techniques inspired by the Great Masters.
Older art students in grades 7 and up further refine their art skills through exposure to a variety of drawing models and studies on value from reference materials.
Each of our art classes for kids span a 6-week period, during which we provide a structured environment for students to hone their abilities, foster creativity, and gain a deeper appreciation for the visual arts. By immersing themselves in these classes, students can nurture their passion for art and develop essential skills that will serve them well in their artistic endeavors and creative potential, all while under the guidance of our experienced instructors in a positive learning environment.
