Class Levels:
Foundation
Ages 4-8
Engage and explore all the basic building blocks of 2D visual art. Simple steps towards confident creators. Observation, imagination and invention are employed to bring and focus attention and understanding to everything the child sees in their world.
Little Builders
Ages 9-12
At this stage we provide many methods and tools which can echo the child's rapid development, and which can empower them to analyze, interpret, and compose from their imagination.
Jr. Apprentices
Ages 13-17
This exciting class moves on from the previous courses to not only make sense of the world, but also to explore their inner world. We also look at how images communicate ideas, and how these can be conveyed through a rich myriad of formal devices, layouts and techniques. At this level instruction also becomes more individual and personalized as these teens are forming opinions and have heavier things they need to deal with.
Adult class
Ages 18-99
Connect with your inner artist! Join our adult classes for painting, drawing, collage and a journey through art history. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, our welcoming studio offers a supportive and peaceful haven to explore your creativity, learn new techniques, and discover the stories behind the masterpieces.
