2026 Schedule
Updated 4/8/2026
Sometimes when students are involved in multiple activities, it’s hard to commit to another long term activity that is of great interest. To solve this scenario, we have created our occasional, no obligation classes available on Saturdays.
“JUMP RIGHT IN!”
Saturdays at 2:00 - 4:00pm!
Pre-registrations are required, call at least 3 days before to insure canvas will be prepared and verify enough room in the class.
This is necessary for each student have enough time and guidance for a great outcome in our small, quality classes.
Students will be able to choose a project from the following categories:
Painting On Canvas
Students will use acrylic paints on a canvas panel. IN THIS CLASS, THEY WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE ADDITIONS TO MAKE THEIR OWN PAINTING UNIQUE AND PERSONAL. The paintings are pre-sketched for their chosen subject and ready to be painted with acrylic paints, we provide painting shirts to cover all painters.
Future Fashionista Design
IN THIS CLASS, STUDENTS WILL CREATE DESIGNS FOR CLOTHING, FOOTWEAR, HAIR STYLING AND MAKE-UP. Students learn the steps needed to put a collection together. they will create their own character for branding, just like professional designers. We digitalize hand sketches and take their designs to the next level.
Bright “AIdeas”
This class offers a combination of TECHNOLOGY and FINE ART! Kids can be great designers with unlimited imaginations. They are stimulated by activities, commercials, movies and more every day. IN THIS CLASS, OUR STUDENTS DRAW DESIGNS OF PRODUCTS, INTERIOR & EXTERIOR DESIGN, VEHICLES AND MORE. Starting with rough sketches, they will go on to refining and adding details. The next step will be writing their ideas as an AI prompt. Using the AI app, we will show them how their many ideas translate. AI is here to stay and if used properly, can be an asset in many ways.
Art has always been the unique features of humans, a way of documenting life. From scratchings in caves, to painting on cloth and papers, photography; thenTV, movies, cell phones, and now AI. This growing Artificial Intelligence, a system of searching and capturing data such as photos, words, and other info structured to have many options, available to us for various needs. What is missing when creating on electronic devices: our tablets, laptops and computers? The tactile experience of the feel of a stiff fabric, the softness of another fabric, the aromatic smell of oil paint and it’s cleaners, the canvas primers, clay, paint, chalk dust, glues, the slivers of the rubber erasers brushed off the paper onto the floor. These are the aromas you miss and remind you of how you were physically attached to your art. If you never were feeling that way, or had the opportunity, you just might feel and start to love it.
For the past 33 years we have maintained our tactical studio experiences. We introduce and encourage critical thinking in our creative process. We are proud of our reputation, purpose, connection with our families, and love of the arts. We have the passion, experience, patience and for students at every level.

FRIDAY GROUP CLASSES FOR ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
OUR ORIGINAL, POST COVID OBJECTIVE WAS TO CREATE A WEEKLY SOCIAL GROUP WHERE WE ENCOURAGE AND START CONVERSATIONS IN AN INFORMAL SETTING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THESE OPPORTUNITIES AND SOCIAL SKILLS. THESE CLASSES WERE SO SUCCESSFUL, HAVE GROWN ORGANICLY AND ARE VERY APPREICIATED AND ENCOURAGED BY THEIR DEVOTED AND CARING PARENTS. WE ARE SO PROUD OF THE PROGRESS THAT EACH AND EVERY SUDENT HAS ACCOMPLISHED.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT EACH STUDENT HAS THEIR OWN LIKES, DISLIKES AND LIMITATIONS. WE TAILOR EACH PROJECT TO FIT THE STUDENT’S ABILITIES AND INTERESTS, WHILE ALSO ENCOURAGING THEM TO TRY NEW EXPERIENCES. ENCOURAGEMENT, KINDNESS AND PATIENCE GOES A LONG WAY, THEY HAVE COME TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO HELP ONE ANOTHER. SHY AND NON-VERBAL STUDENTS JOIN IN, WITH CLAPPING HANDS AND HAPPY SQUEALS! TEACHERS BEAMING, IT’S A VERY HAPPY PLACE!
OUR CLASSES WILL OFFER 2 - 4 HOURS OF CREATIVITY THAT MATCH OUR STUDENTS’ INTERESTS AND AVAILABILITIES.
THEY HAVE GREATLY IMPROVED THEIR SKILLS, INCREASED THEIR SELF ESTEEM AND PRIDE IN THEIR ARTWORKS WHILE HAVING FUN.
