Afterschool Art Classes

Afterschool art classes introduce students to fine art media such as acrylic paint, watercolor, charcoal, ink, graphite and much more. Each lesson introduces students to a new artist like Gustav Klimt, Georgia O’Keeffe, Horace Pippin, Michelangelo, Amy Sherald, or a new concept such as perspective, composition, and light/shadow. Students will improve their skills in drawing and painting as well as enrich their love of art and art history. Afterschool classes meet Thursdays. Oil painting classes for ages 11 - 18 meet Wednesdays. See Young Artist Studio page for more information.
