What Students will Learn
- Diverse Art Media
From drawing to painting, sculpture to mixed media, our classes cover a wide variety of fine art media and techniques throughout the year. - Guidance for All Skill Levels
Whether your teen is learning art for the first time, or adding to their art portfolio, our instructors carefully instruct and support them based on their needs and skill level. For students refining their portfolio, our instructors guide them through the development process. - Observation Skills and Visual Thinking
How do you make your artwork more realistic? How do you draw what you really see and not what you think you see? Our instructors teach students how to develop an discerning artistic "eye" that will help ensure high accuracy in their art making. - Language Development
It is important for students to develop a strong art vocabulary so they may understand and discuss the aesthetics of their own and others' artwork in a beneficial way. In this program, your teen will have the opportunity to interpret, criticize, and learn how to make creative decisions about their artwork with essential art terms, concepts and understanding. - Risk Taking, Self Confidence and Creativity
As artists go about their work, they take creative risks, make mistakes and learn by doing. Through the art making process and with our help, your teen learns that challenging themselves while trying new things is the best way to grow as an artist. They also discover that, as the famous saying goes, there are no mistakes in art, only opportunities for more creative thinking. Our friendly and positive atmosphere ensures that everyone is not only supported but also thriving in their art making.
