Our hands-on approach encourages individual progress, and to eventually explore mediums and subjects of particular interest to the student to an advanced level. Each student is started in a program based on his/her age and skill level. Most students start with our Fine Arts Basics. For the older or more advanced students, placement is determined by a personal portfolio review.
