In weekly small group art lessons, young artists ages 6 - 12 are encouraged to create, explore, and learn about art!
Through sketchbook activities and portfolio projects, art students are introduced to fundamental art concepts and techniques, while experimenting with different artistic mediums. Students will also explore the work of prominent artists, broadening their inspirations and developing their own unique artistic styles!
Pre-registration is required and space is limited. Monthly, semesterly and weekly registration is available!
For more information about the art lesson program or to register, please check the art lesson slots and review the registration policies listed below.
Art lesson semesters run from January to May and from August to December annually.
No art lessons are held on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Canada Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or New Year's Eve.
Semesterly registration typically opens one month ahead of the upcoming semester, while monthly registration is open anytime in the semester as long as space permits.
All lesson fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Lessons missed by students will not be refunded or discounted.
If a class must be cancelled due to weather, illness, or other circumstances beyond control, the lesson will be rescheduled. During severe weather events, I follow closure decisions made by local schools and transit authorities.
Email is the primary method of communication for updates. Please check regularly for class notices.
Missed Classes & Illness
Students are asked to stay home if they have a fever or have had any contagious symptoms within the past 72 hours. Please reach out ahead of time, lessons can be rescheduled once the student is feeling better.
Pet-Friendly Home
Art lessons take place in a small group setting at my pet-friendly home in the East End of St. John’s, NL. The exact address will be shared after registration.
