Returning Spring 2027
Spring Semester: February 1 – May 7 | Thursdays, 4:30 – 6:00 PM | 12 weekly sessions
Registration opens in November. Join the interest list below and you'll get first notice — spots are capped at ten per class.
Color theory, taken seriously — and kept joyful.
A painting class that treats color as something to genuinely understand, not just splash around. Students learn how color works — mixing, light, and harmony — then put it to work in guided projects that stay playful and imaginative. Real technique, real fun, no shortcuts.
What they'll learn
- Color mixing and the basics of color theory (primary, secondary, warm and cool)
- Brush control and how paint behaves
- Using light and color to bring a painting to life
- Carrying a project from idea to finished work
What they'll make: A series of paintings exploring color and light, finishing with a gallery-ready piece for the exhibition.
Where it leads: The Year 2 step in our Foundations sequence, building on the drawing skills from Year 1 and continuing the multi-year path.
The semester ends in a real gallery show
At the end of the semester, each student's strongest piece is matted, framed in our shop, and hung in our gallery for a Friday-evening exhibition with refreshments. Families are invited, and the work is shown the way real art is shown. Your child's effort is treated as what it is — art, not a craft to stick on the fridge. It's the part families remember most, and it's something no other art program in the area offers.
