Exceptional Reviews from Our Community
Thanks to our instructors and creative atmosphere, we’re proud to have earned consistent 5-star reviews from parents and students alike. In fact, many families highlight the supportive environment and individual attention their children receive at all our Austin campuses.
Moreover, our ongoing drawing and painting programs for children ages 9–12 combine both traditional and digital art lessons.
Whether your child attends in-studio or online, each class or camps are designed to nurture imagination while gradually building core art techniques. As a result, young artists gain confidence and creative independence through hands-on experience.
Tuition, Fees & Materials
Tuition covers four consecutive weekly classes and is prorated if you start mid-month. A quarterly admin fee applies in September, December, and March for Kids and Teen Classes.
All materials are provided for Kids and Teens, so just bring your student! They’ll explore watercolor, tempera, pastels, charcoal, ink, and more—older students will also work with acrylics.

Engaging Art Lessons for Young Artists
Learning to draw is a lifelong asset. It gives children a powerful way to express emotions, beat boredom creatively, share ideas, and build joy, confidence, and self‑esteem. However, around age ten, many kids become self‑critical and stop drawing because they believe they “can’t do it.” Our program meets them at this turning point and shows them they absolutely can.
In our classes, students build skills step by step across drawing, observation, and painting media.
3D Drawing Foundations
First, kids explore 12 core visual concepts—foreshortening, contour and cross‑contour lines, basic perspective, scale/size relationships, and more—to help their drawings read in 3D.
Realistic Drawing Skills
Next, guided observation lessons inspired by Dr. Betty Edwards’ Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain teach children “how to see” shape, angle, and proportion. These realistic drawing exercises are introduced in intervals alongside 3D work to reinforce learning. (See before/after progress gallery.)
Explore Art Media
Finally, as skills grow, students experiment with additional media: charcoal, soft pastels, oil pastels, watercolor, tempera, and acrylic paint. This gradual expansion builds confidence, color awareness, and creative problem‑solving. (See what else can be learned.)
