Visual Arts
Please note that all visual arts courses have new projects each session, therefore students who repeat a course are not repeating the same content. Each class is also designed to welcome new students to The Fine Arts Association experience! Material fees are included unless indicated otherwise. Cover-up smocks are provided for preschool art classes.

Preschool Visual Art Classes
Elementary & Middle School Classes
Teen & Adult Classes
In some classes students are expected to purchase their own tools and supplies. There is a clay fee of $10 per bag for all ceramics classes listed in this section unless it is indicated that it is included in the class fee. Ceramic tools are also available for $12 per kit. Please inquire about purchasing supplies at the Customer Service Center. Unless indicated, most courses are designed to permit students to continue from previous sessions. New students are always welcome!
Private Visual Art Instruction
Private instruction in visual art is available. Visual Art classes at The Fine Arts Association are designed to provide students with a balanced and progressive instruction in all art media. Individual instruction should be viewed as a supplement to regular art classes, not as a substitute.
