After School Art Classes
After school art class is designed to teach the mastery of materials, understand concept, art history and art appreciation as your child’s creative abilities are ignited to express what they see through exciting assignments that become masterpieces.
Like sports, art is a great way for students to address their "kid stress." School is hard work for students in our competitive culture and a creative outlet proves to balance anyone's workload. All artistic disciplines demonstrate skill, concept, imagination, critical thinking, discovery, invention and more.
ACAC instructs and art directs students in a way that builds self-confidence. So, when making a masterpiece or being creative with a homework assignment, the process becomes more fulfilling.
The innate desire to imagine, invent, produce and communicate is natural and nurtured through the creative process. Providing time for art yields a great return on one's investment throughout life.
Learn to see and say things in a new way
Our curriculum covers many materials and mastery comes with practice. Like anything in life, what you give your attention to will become successful. Allow your imagination to take you on a more creative visual journey.
Visual art
Painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking and technology are some of the tools used in learning to create. Students become an apprentice of the masters, old and new and the journey begins to uncover their own styles of expression.
Opening your eyes
Learning to draw and paint is learning to see. Become a “seer” and apply what you learn in the studio to the rest of your life. Listen and learn what others see and show us what you see. There is always more to see.
A safe place
The studio environment is where fear and judgment fall away and a new kind of self esteem emerges, empowering each student’s creative abilities. Honoring each others uniqueness allows students to ask questions, think for themselves and share what they know.
Something new, discover you
When you take a risk and rearrange your world to create art, your life becomes balanced and more fulfilling. Applying the elements and principles of art and design in your life can show you what you think and feel.
We all define our own reality, so come and illustrate your story. Live life deliberately and share your discoveries by knowing how to express yourself through the endless supply of materials you learn to master.
