In weekly small group and private 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. Throughout the program art students will explore the work of prominent artists, broadening their creative inspirations and developing their own unique artistic styles!
Pre-registration is required and space is limited. For more information about art lesson programs or to register, please check the available art lesson slots and review the registration policies listed below. If you have any questions please reach out to artwithjailen@gmail.com
GENERAL STUDIO POLICIES
Studio Calendar
Art With Jai Studio offers programming throughout the year. Art lesson semesters typically run from January to May and September to December. Summer camps, pop up classes, workshops, and seasonal events are offered throughout the year and are announced on social media and at www.artwithjailen.com.
No regularly scheduled art lessons are held on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Canada Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or New Year's Eve. If a lesson falls on one of these holidays, it will be rescheduled to another available day that week whenever possible.
Payments & Refunds
Registration is confirmed once payment has been received. Unless otherwise stated, fees are non refundable and non transferable.
If Art With Jai Studio must cancel a lesson, class, or event due to severe weather, instructor illness, or circumstances beyond control, participants will be offered a rescheduled date, refund, or studio credit. (During severe weather, I follow closure decisions made by local schools and transit authorities.)
Email is the primary method of communication for program updates, schedule changes, and important announcements. Participants are responsible for ensuring their contact information remains up to date.
Health and Safety
Participants who are experiencing a fever or other contagious symptoms are asked to remain home. We appreciate your cooperation in helping provide a safe and healthy environment for all participants.
Assumption of Risk
Art activities may involve the use of paints, glue, scissors, clay, and other art materials and tools. While reasonable safety precautions are taken at all times, participation in art activities is at each participant's own risk. By registering, participants acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with arts and crafts activities.
Photography and Media
Photographs of artwork, studio activities, and the creative process may be used for educational and promotional purposes, including social media, the studio website, and printed materials, unless a participant or parent or guardian requests otherwise.
Artist Etiquette
Follow all safety instructions.
Be respectful and kind to instructors and fellow artists.
Treat the space, artwork, tools, and materials with care.
Wear clothing suitable for painting, clay, glue, and other messy art materials.
ART LESSON PROGRAM POLICIES
Pet Friendly Studio
Art lesson programs take place in my cat-friendly home located in the east end of St. John's. The studio address is shared with registered participants prior to their first visit. Prospective families are welcome to arrange a visit before registering.
Attendance and Missed Lessons
Students who are unwell should remain home. When advance notice is provided, missed lessons may be rescheduled based on instructor availability. Lessons missed without notice are not eligible for rescheduling.
Drop Off and Pick Up
Children must be dropped off and picked up by a parent, guardian, or another approved adult listed on the registration form (unless alternate arrangements have been communicated in advance). To ensure smooth transitions between lessons, families are asked to remain in their vehicle until the scheduled lesson start time and to arrive on time for pick up.
