What is included?

  • 1.5 hours of hands-on instructional time.

  • Lessons are tailored to students’ skill level and interests.

  • All art supplies are provided, including desired media, tools, aprons to protect clothing, and drop cloths to protect work surfaces.

  • For most lessons, students will have a completed work of art by the end of the session. Depending on the medium, some lessons may require additional sessions to complete. The number of required sessions will be communicated to you before scheduling.

  • Students will learn how to properly care for and store art supplies by helping to clean up at the end of the lesson.

  • You will need to make sure there is ample space for all students to create without bumping elbows. Typically, a 6 foot table can seat 4-6 students depending on their age and the activity. Painting and mixed media requires a lot of work space, where drawing can be done comfortably in tighter spaces.
