2025-2026

Classes for the Fall Semster will start in September and go through December. The Spring Semster will start in January and go through April. Art classes focus on a specific media process (drawing, painting, sculpting, collaging) and historical Artists for most projects.

Students are really proud of all their hard work, so we will celebrate with an ART SHOW at the end of the school year in May!

FAQ:

Class Overview
Classes are a drop off style class for K-12th grade. The Art Academy program is designed to encourage creativity, independent thinking, material exploration, vocabulary, and develop an understanding of Visual Art. This is accomplished through learning about artists, art movements, and learning to control a variety of media such as acrylic paint, watercolor, clay, wire, paper, scissors, glue, and pencil work.

Minimum number of students needed for the class to make is 4, maximum number of students is 14.

These are NOT paint-by-number, craft classes, sip ‘n paint type classes. The main goal is not the finished project but instead the process of creating and exploring media, ideas, and tehniques. Therefore, not all artwork will look “fridge worthy”, eventhough they may have worked really hard and learned new things. These are art education classes with student choice!

Artwork:
Students will take artwork home every other class period. Having extra time in class will allow the students to spend a little more time and expand the nature of the projects. Thanks for understanding that you won’t get to see the projects every week. We will complete 7 beautiful finished Art pieces each semester!

Payment
Tuition is $360 per child for each semester. You can pay in full or opt for a payment plan of $90 at registration (counts as the first month payment)+ installments of $90 each month.
Second and third children registered receive 15% off tuition, with code SIBLING (all caps)

What to Wear
Have your student wear clothes you don't mind getting messy.

Food & Drink
Water is fine, but no other outside food or drinks please.

Parent Involvement
These classes are designed for your student to create with a sense of independence in their art making and problem solving. For this reason, parents are asked to drop off their children for this class. However, there is a seating area in Our Yarn Studio if you’d like to stay through class. Additionally, if you student is under 6 years old, you are asked to sit with them and assist as necessary.

Arrival/End Time
Please arrive no more than 10 minutes early for class. Arriving too early can be disruptive to set up for class. Please be on time to pick students up.

Make-Up Classes
If your student misses class, I will not be able to offer make-up classes this year.

End of Semester Art Show
Any student who has participated in Art Classes during the 2025-2026 school year has the option of participating in the End of Year Art Show! On the last day of class, students will bring back their artwork from the semester and we will prepare for the Art Show. Then, on Monday, May 11 from 5-7pm we will open up the studio for family to come view student artwork. All artwork will need to be picked at another date after the show comes down.

Classes are non-refundable.
