Composition and Color:
Learn the intricate concepts of 2D composition and color theory to enhance artistic expression.

Painting Techniques:
Experiment with various media such as acrylics, watercolors, gouache, learning manipulation techniques that bring ideas to life.

Art History:
Travel through time exploring influential artists, both historical and contemporary, to understand their impact on the art world and society.

Authentic Assessment:
Engage in assessments that reflect real-world art critique, helping students evaluate and elevate their art.

Personal Expression:

Each lesson is tailored to spark curiosity and encourage self-expression, ensuring students not only learn but also connect with the art they create. Join us to give your child a transformative artistic journey!
