• • Early Art Foundations with Tiny Hands & Intro to Art (Ages 3-6): Our early childhood programs provide foundational art classes for kindergarteners and preschoolers. We focus on motor skill development through fun, engaging activities that introduce basic color theory and creative play.

• • Intermediate Artist Beginning Art (Ages 7-8): As students progress, they begin formal sketching classes and basic art painting classes. This stage focuses on transition—moving from simple crafts to understanding how to see the world like an artist.

• • Mastery Art 1 & Advanced (Ages 9+): Our older students dive deep into specialized techniques. This includes comprehensive painting lessons using acrylics and oils, as well as specialized watercolor painting classes. We emphasize “Art by Curriculum,” ensuring students master one medium before moving to the next.

• For our more experienced students, our curriculum includes offering drawing classes for teens and pre-teens. Our instructors guide students through advanced techniques like art by pencil, sketch and charcoal, helping them build a professional portfolio. These drawing lessons for teens are designed to challenge their technical abilities while fostering a lifelong passion for the visual arts.
