What to Expect
Intro sessions are designed to provide a firsthand glimpse into the unique experience Artworks offers before enrolling. There is no need to bring any materials. We’ll prepare everything for your first class!
In this one-time introductory class, students will be guided through a pastel drawing exercise, which helps our instructors assess each student’s current skill level and artistic interests. This allows us to tailor future instruction to support their growth. Our teachers specialize in a wide range of mediums and use comprehensive skill-building techniques to nurture creativity and confidence. Every student works on individual projects and receives personalized attention, whether they’re exploring oil painting, pastels, drawing from life, or watercolor. We’re here to help with any project you want to learn!
Classes meet once a week, and tuition is billed monthly—typically covering 4–5 sessions depending on the calendar. Each class will typically have up to 8 students. All class days follow the same format, so you can choose the schedule that works best for your family, or schedule a make-up class for any missed classes! See our FAQ page for more info.
