Want to do more than doodle?
If you think that you do not have an artistic bone in your body you will be amazed at your creative expression! Art IS for Everyone Most of our art classes feature warm-up brain calisthenics that specifically hone skills and stretch your creative potential. Students will work on fun projects designed to improve their abilities and understanding as well as their own personal works of art. Our teaching method is affirming and focuses on mechanic 'nuts-and-bolts' of how and why art works rather than relying solely on critiques and correction of works in progress. After completing projects and drills that will give you valuable insight and confidence,you will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned into personal compositions developing you own unique style.
