This beginner-friendly teen drawing workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of figure drawing in a supportive, creative environment. We begin by learning how to build a strong foundation using simple skeletal structures, helping students understand proportion, balance, and movement. As the class progresses, we gradually develop these frameworks into full figures, exploring form, gesture, and basic anatomy. By the end of the workshop, students will feel more confident bringing their drawings to life, with a deeper understanding of how the human body is constructed and expressed through art. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to learn! Bring a sketchbook, but all other materials will be provided

Hit the Deck is a fast-paced, two-hour after-school pop-up class where you'll design your own skateboard deck graphics. You'll master vertical layouts, bold lines, and high-contrast color theory to make your art pop. Working on custom-cut paper scaled to a real deck, you'll take your concept from a rough sketch to a finished, portfolio-ready piece of street art.

First and Third Mondays of each month, through May
Ages 5 years and older (must be 5 by 10/1/2024)

Students will be led through the galleries to examine works of art at a student level. From gallery inspiration, students will then create artwork of their own. Different media will be used each class for experimentation, including drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and more.

Paint, Play & Create: A 6-Week Painting Adventure

Over the course of six weeks, students will jump into a colorful painting adventure where they can experiment, discover, and build confidence as young artists. Through watercolor, tempera, and acrylic painting, students will explore color mixing, brush techniques, texture, layering, pattern, and composition while creating their own unique works of art. Each week introduces new materials and techniques, encouraging students to try something new, make creative choices, and discover that there is more than one way to make a great painting.

Most importantly, this class is about giving children the freedom to explore their imagination and express their ideas through art. Students will learn to trust their creative instincts, solve artistic problems, and take pride in their individual choices. By the end of the six weeks, each student will have created a collection of original paintings while developing new skills, greater confidence, and an understanding that mistakes and experimentation are an important part of the creative process.

Week 1: Watercolor Wonderlands

Introduce watercolor basics: loading the brush, water-to-paint ratios, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and color mixing. Students create an imaginative landscape—perhaps a magical forest, outer space, underwater world, or fantasy place.

Week 2: Underwater Worlds

Explore transparent layers and blending. Students create colorful underwater scenes with fish, coral, sea plants, bubbles, and other creatures. This gives them a chance to experiment with watercolor without worrying about making things "realistic."

Week 3: Colorful Creatures

Move into tempera paint. Introduce primary/secondary colors and mixing. Students invent an animal by combining different shapes and features, then paint it with bold colors.

Week 4: Painted Garden

Explore texture and mark-making. Students experiment with different brushes and unconventional tools—sponges, cotton swabs, cardboard, fingers, etc.—to create flowers and plants. They can build an entire imaginary garden.

Week 5: Mini Masterpieces

Introduce acrylic paint and the idea of working in layers. Students paint a simple still life or landscape. This is a good week to talk about foreground, middle ground, and background in an age-appropriate way.

Week 6: My Big Painting

Students get more independence. They choose what they want to paint and use techniques from the previous five weeks.

*Dual Language provided and encouraged!

No experience necessary! In this interactive class, students will learn the basics of oil painting. They will learn fundamentals of art, basic color theory, how to use the color wheel, and concepts such as composition, focal point, value, and more. They will explore how to use materials and mediums effectively. Learn brushstrokes and make their own oil masterpieces!

Main Goals:

Learn in a fun way using your creativity, learning the artistic processes, exploring oil medium, color theory, and more…

Most Materials Provided!

****For the very first month of classes, you will be required to order an Oil Painting Kit from us. This kit will include your own 10 Palette Winsor and Newton Oil Paints, set of paintbrushes, and pallet knives. This will not be required to purchase each time you take this class, and these materials will be yours to keep so you can continue your practice at home! This starter pack is $70.00. You will be invoiced separately for this starter pack after you register for the class.

Self-Portrait: More Than a Face

What does a portrait say about you beyond what you look like? In this hands-on painting experience, students will explore self-portraiture as a way to express personality, identity, mood, and personal style. Students will learn the fundamentals of portrait painting, including proportion, facial features, color mixing, value, light, and shadow, while experimenting with techniques that allow their individual artistic voices to come through.

Students can move beyond a traditional, realistic portrait by making intentional choices about color, composition, background, expression, and symbolism. Whether bold and graphic, subtle and realistic, or completely unexpected, each painting becomes an opportunity to show a different side of themselves. Come ready to experiment, take creative risks, and turn a picture of yourself into a work of art that actually says something.

This is a 6-week course that will help students study in multiple ways to create a self-portrait painting.

Join us on the Second Saturday of each month for an open-studio-style journaling experience where creativity has no limits!

Bring your journal and gather your friends for an afternoon of sketching, collage, painting, writing, and whatever else inspires you. All materials are provided, and creative prompts will be offered to help spark your imagination and get your creative process started.

Since launching more than a year ago, our Journaling Club has grown into a welcoming community of creatives who love experimenting, sharing ideas, and simply enjoying the process of making.

Join us every Second Saturday for an exciting, hands-on Dual Language STEAM experience where students explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) while building skills in two languages. Through interactive experiments, engineering challenges, creative projects, and collaborative activities, participants develop critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills in a fun, engaging environment.

Each month features a new STEAM theme presented with age-appropriate bilingual instruction and vocabulary, allowing students to strengthen their language abilities while exploring real-world concepts. Activities encourage students to listen, speak, read, and collaborate in both languages, fostering confidence, cultural appreciation, and global awareness.

Designed for learners of all skill levels, our Second Saturday Dual Language STEAM Class celebrates curiosity, creativity, and multilingual learning. Whether building prototypes, conducting science experiments, coding, or creating STEAM-inspired art, students will discover that innovation has no language barriers.

Come explore, create, and learn — in two languages!
