Our program offers children from ages 5 to 18 weekly fine arts classes on weekends and weekday afternoons and evenings. We have a structured curriculum that includes such essential components as perspective, light and shadow, color theory, anatomy, and drawing and painting from from still-life, life, portraiture and landscape.
The student begins with personal step-by-step instruction and works up the ladder of skill development to take on more independent projects. As skill grows, the imagination is more gracefully expressed. Our courses are not designed only for future artists. In our classes we also teach future leaders in science, medicine, law, engineering and business. We want our students to have confidence in their own visions and ideas.
Our 2022-2023 Academic Year consists of 33 online classes from September 1st, 2022 to May 21st, 2023. We also offer a free art exhibition on May 28, 2023. (No classes during the holidays of Thanksgiving, Winter Break, Lunar New Year and Spring Break.)
English will be the principal language of instruction.
