After School Art Classes
IMPORTANT NOTE: NO AFTERSCHOOL CLASSES THE WEEK OF MID-WINTER BREAK, FEB. 17-21!
Custom After School Classes offer instruction in drawing and painting tailored to meet each student's unique needs and interests. Students explore a variety of mediums including graphite pencils, pastels, ink, oils, acrylics, and gouache, focusing on subjects ranging from realistic figures to manga and landscapes. Whether students are interested in learning to draw from life, photographs, or imagination, or wish to master painting in oils or acrylics, we customize each student's experience based on their individual passions. Classes help students develop their own artistic voice and style, building foundational skills, and preparing them for future artistic endeavors.
