Our Art Classes

General Studio Art Class Information

All classes during the school year are 90 minute weekly sessions for students ages 7 and up.   Our classes are small mixed age group lessons which allows for maximized learning with guidance by our highly trained instructors.  Students work on individual projects based on their skill level, so new students are welcome to join any of our ongoing classes anytime during the school year based on availability.  Enrollment is on a monthly basis. Our schedule follows the Bellevue School District schedule for holidays and vacation months from September through June.  We offer Art Camps only on select weeks during the Summer months.

Our Ongoing Art Program

Our goal is to help students who show an interest in art (who love to doodle and draw at home) take the next steps in expanding their understanding of art materials and mediums. We help build confidence by teaching students skills and techniques while encouraging creativity. When new students begin our program, they will start with the basic foundations of drawing, focusing heavily on proportions and shapes. They will then move on to technique building in various mediums, including but not limited to; pen and ink, chalk pastels, watercolor, acrylic, and oils. Students will utilize their learned skills to render paintings they choose of various subjects such as still life, landscapes, animals, etc.  From there, they will being exploring their creativity and sense of self by creating original artwork.   Middle and High School aged students will be given the opportunity to work on submitting original artwork for Local and National Art Competitions in addition to Art Portfolio building throughout the year.  

Attendance:

Students will be expected to attend their weekly art class once registered.  We do not offer make up classes for missed classes.  Pro-rated tuition, freezes to accounts, and complete withdrawal from classes will only be available if notice is given via email prior to billing at the beginning of each month. 

Tuition/Billing:

Payment is due in full on the first of each month via Auto Pay with a credit card on file set up at registration.  Our program consists of 4 classes each month unless stated otherwise on our monthly calendar (there are NO CLASSES on 5th weeks).  Monthly email notifications will be sent to keep everyone updated on any closures (weather related, holidays, 5th week closures).   Monthly tuition is $160/student (4 classes).  We offer a 10% sibling discount for full month enrollment.  

Supplies:

Students will use our studio supplies for the first month of classes so that we can determine what medium they will continue with.  We will then provide parents a supply list that each student will need to bring to class weekly.  Canvases and specialty paper pads will  be available for purchase in studio and will be auto billed to accounts.
