Class Descriptions

Basic Drawing and Painting 

(Ages 5-12) instructed

These are our year-round children's lessons. They cover the basics and it is designed for beginners but offers a great deal of challenges to improve your child's art skills.

The kids get to explore several mediums in this class including, but not limited to:

Graphite Pencils, Colored Pencils, Watercolor Paint, Watercolor Pencils, Tempera Paint, Oil Pastels, Chalk Pastels, and Charcoal.

The Class schedule is designed to ensure children get the most of their time with us. The same project is offered three days a week for those with busy schedules.

Homeschooling

(Ages 6-16) Instructed

Our homeschooling classes are usually quite small, but we find it best that way to ensure each child gets their necessary individual needs met! Each child's personal interests Are taken into account and incorporated into the class projects alongside projects selected by the instructor. This gives the children creative freedom, while still learning new skills and techniques. We find this approach of focusing on their strengths and valuing their thoughts, and opinions helps the development of self-confidence and makes working on improving weaknesses to be a little easier of a task.
Homeschool lessons are offered once a week and purchased by the semester. 

1st Semester - Mid September - Mid January

2nd Semester - Mid January - Mid May
 

OPEN STUDIO (Teen & Adult)

(Ages 13+)  NOT instructed

Practice makes Perfect!

Open studio is time set aside when the full Studio or a portion of the studio is available for artists to come and bring their visions to life in a creative space. Artists are able to use our supplies and resources for a set rate based on the amount of time stayed. One 11"x14" canvas is included in the cost of a two hour period, any additional canvases must be paid for but will receive 50% off if being used in the studio.

This is NOT a step-by-step course. Instead, students are encouraged to work independently to improve their skills, Experiment with new mediums, or build a portfolio at their own pace. An Instructor is present though for any questions or guidance you may need. 
For classes with a higher level of guidance, we recommend instructed lessons or private lessons.

This class is a great way to learn and improve drawing basics, and techniques and you will leave each week with a beautiful piece of art you can take pride in. Project subjects typically shuffle between landscapes, florals, still lives, and animals.

Watercolor Painting

This is our most popular Teen/Adult Course!

The water is in control, not us; but we can learn to work with it.

This class is designed for beginners to learn and improve new skills, and techniques in the art of watercolor painting. Watercolor Tuesdays Has become a staple to our business and has even served as a way for many to make new friends and socialize. This class is taught in a step-by-step fashion, and more intricate designs are traced using carbon paper so that we can focus on the painting aspect. 
 Class projects are realeased at least one month in advance!

 

Not your Ordinary OIL PAINTING

This course walks the line between beginner and intermediate levels, and is very much not your ordinary oil painting class. This class is taught using Linseed oil in place of paint thinner to make for a safer learning experience. We also work a little faster than what is typically taught in an oil painting class, we work in a specific order to eliminate prolonged dry times.
 It is offered in 2 to 4 week sets each project to be finished in a two week timeframe.
Students will learn and practice many techniques in the step-by-step process of creating their masterpiece. We work off of a limited palette to encourage a better understanding of the color wheel and color mixing.
Each month is a new theme, view class projects to see the references.
Catch up classes, and make-up classes are occasionally necessary for this course and are scheduled upon the need for them.

Acrylic Painting

This Class in NOT every week! It is held on select Friday evenings, see dates under class projects.
This class is designed for beginners to learn some basic painting techniques, and get a feel for moving a brush around. Painting subjects shuffle between florals, landscapes, still lives, and animals. When the project is a little more intricate, we usually trace the design using carbon paper to save time and stay focused on the painting aspect. 
Most projects are done on an 11"x14" canvas.
