• Overall Goal: To build a strong foundation in art fundamentals, explore a wide range of materials, and cultivate confidence and joy in artistic creation.
• Class Time: Mondays, 6:30 – 8:00 pm

Designed for young artists who have a foundational understanding of art or have completed our Beginner Youth Art Class, the Advanced Program offers an exciting opportunity to push boundaries and dive deeper into artistic expression. This curriculum challenges students to refine their technical skills in drawing, painting, and sculpture, while introducing more complex concepts like advanced color theory, multi-point perspective, figurative drawing, and environmental art. Taught by professional artists, students will experiment with advanced painting projects, drawing and engage in visual storytelling through illustration and comic strips. The year culminates in a multi-week “Personal Masterpiece Project,” where students choose their own medium and concept, guided by the instructor to create a significant artwork that truly showcases their unique artistic voice and growth. This class is perfect for budding artists ready to take their passion to the next level and develop a substantial portfolio.

By the end of the year, students will have a solid artistic foundation, a diverse portfolio, and a newfound confidence in their creative abilities.
