Fine Art Curriculum

Our curriculum is broken up into courses of study which are designed to create a foundation of fundamental skills in color, shape, line form, and then train the artistic eye to bring those skills together as an artist.  

Each course is seven weeks long with one-hour weekly lessons.  Every individual lesson will focus on a skill or principle reinforced by hands-on instructional activities in different media.  Each curriculum is $105.

Students will become familiar with a wide range of techniques, art tools, methods, and terminology that will serve them well in any creative future.  Materials for each lesson are included in the cost of the curriculum.
