REGISTER FOR SUMMER WORKSHOPS

 

Welcome to Children’s Art Classes Glenview, the North Shore’s premier destination where early childhood education and creativity meet. We offer a comprehensive drawing course and painting curriculum designed to help students of all ages find their artistic voice. Whether you are looking for summer art classes to keep your child engaged during the break or a year-round drawing lesson to build technical skills, our studio provides a professional environment for every young artist.
At Children’s Art Classes, we don’t just ‘do crafts.’ Our drawing course is a structured, multi-year journey. From the first drawing lesson for a beginner to advanced art by pencil sketch for high schoolers, our curriculum is designed to build a professional foundation.

Program Descriptions (The “Core” Curriculum)

    • 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.

Unleash Creativity at Our North Shore Summer Art Camp

When school is out, the creativity begins! Our summer art camp programs in Glenview offer a vibrant, immersive experience for students of all skill levels. We’ve designed our art camp curriculum to be the perfect blend of technical skill-building and seasonal fun, ensuring every child leaves with a masterpiece they are proud to display.

Summer Art Classes for Every Skill Level

Looking for a productive way to fill those long July days? Our summer art classes provide structured, weekly sessions that dive deep into specific mediums. From foundational drawing to advanced color theory, these classes ensure that students don’t experience a “creative slide” during the break.

Specialized Summer Workshops

For students who want to master a specific technique in a shorter timeframe, we offer intensive sessions such as:

  • Watercolor Workshops: These sessions focus on the fluid beauty of transparency, gradients, and “wet-on-wet” techniques. It’s the perfect watercolor workshop for those looking to brighten their portfolio.

  • Artworks Camp Series: Our signature Artworks camp allows students to explore mixed media, combining traditional sketches with bold new textures and experimental materials.

Why Choose Our Glenview Summer Programs?

  1. Professional Instruction: Our summer art camp is led by instructors who specialize in teaching the “why” behind the art.
  2. Diverse Mediums: Each summer art classes session introduces a variety of tools, from charcoal and pastels to professional-grade paints.
  3. Flexible Scheduling: We offer multiple weeks of art camp to fit your family’s busy vacation schedule.
