Class Descriptions
Painting/Drawing
Painting/Drawing classes are designed to allow students to explore various subjects, using various media and tools, and enhance their imagination.
This course introduces students to classical and contemporary painting techniques and concepts with emphasis on the understanding of its formal language and the fundamentals of art. There will also be an emphasis on enhancing skills and creative development of techniques and utilizing various media. Representational painting from observation, non-representational paintings, various painting styles from art history, and art forms will be explored throughout the session. Letting our students know how to process their thoughts and how to express themselves will be the ultimate goal of this art class.

Our educated, experienced instructors will guide you through the requirements for acceptance for any art major: fine arts, design, architecture, and fashion design.
Graphic Design and Digital Art
Digital Design is a studio art course that introduces students to digital illustration and design principles and practices using Adobe Photoshop. Students will learn how to use fundamental tools and techniques, including photo-retouching, color correction, blending and combining images, applying filters, and adding text to an image. Students will design their digital compositions using various techniques with Adobe Photoshop.
Illustration/Drawing/Charactor Building
The illustration is the depiction of an idea, often a story. Illustrators create their own visual interpretations of written stories. Students will create their own visual interpretations of a chosen text, focusing on storytelling and developing a personal visual form.

Intro to Interior Design
Building upon your drawing, 3D modeling, and rendering skills, this class focuses on the exciting process of bringing your imagined space into the real world. We will learn practical architectural techniques such as precise scaling and material planning to translate your 3D modeled room into detailed construction plans. Then, using craft materials like foam board, wood, cardboard, and textiles, you will measure, cut, assemble, and decorate a miniature diorama—a beautiful dollhouse model—of your unique interior design, complete with tiny furniture and textures, culminating in a finished, three-dimensional model you can proudly display!
Adults Class
It's never too late to learn something new, or improve on skills you learned years ago. We will focus mainly on painting and drawing, but we can also tailor the program for your interests and incorporate photography, digital design, and other professions.
