Overview

Students studying drawing and painting are combined into classes by age group, not by skill.   Each student receives individualized instruction, so teachers work with different skill levels, subject matter, and mediums in each class. Special curriculum is designed for each level and medium.  Each student gets to choose what he/she wants to work on, at the discretion of the teacher.  Images of various subject matter are available, such as animals, human figures, cartoons, landscapes, flowers, sports cars, and many others.  Class size is kept to a maximum of six students.  We suggest that students who have had little training in drawing begin in our drawing program so that they acquire the basic skills before advancing to painting. More advanced students may choose to start with one of our painting courses.  Printmaking is also a course option for advanced students who are enrolled in the Painting Program.

“The artist has to look at life as he did when he was a child and if he loses that faculty, he cannot express himself in an original, that is, personal way.”

- Henri Matisse
