We offer affordable year-round, after school and weekend art classes. We like to take a holistic approach to art allowing the children to learn through self expression and by creating a space to enable confidence in themselves and their creativity.
Children discover their abilities through the use of a variety of different mediums ranging from technical drawing and painting classes to less technical mixed media and craft classes. We also incorporate basic yoga, stretching and music into each class to energize and help focus while encouraging the students to express themselves freely in a safe and loving environment.
Classes are taught by practicing artists and experienced educators and we always maintain 7:1 or less student to teacher ratio. Classes last 1 1/2 hours, once a week, and are 3-5 weeks long depending on the project and include all materials in the tuition. Classes are offered to children ages 5-15; Teens 15+ may attend older children's classes and/or adult's classes upon request.
