Visual Arts
The Fine Arts Association
Program
The Fine Arts Association’s Visual Arts program offers a studio-based environment in 8-16 week sessions. With a wide variety of classes to choose from, there is something for every age and ability. FAA also hosts special workshops and other visual art programs throughout the year. Explore classes in drawing, painting, multi-media, ceramics and MORE!
As a part of the visual arts program, students are exposed to several public art opportunities and exhibition space. Observation and imagination are encouraged as students develop their creative and technical skills and create their own art portfolio!
Project and technique varies with each session, allowing students to acquire skills in various mediums. Supplies are often included in tuition. Ceramics classes for teens and adults have an additional clay fee of $10 per bag. Ceramics tools are also available to purchase for $12 per kit. Both tools and clay can be purchased at the Customer Service Center. Unless indicated, most courses are designed to permit students to continue from previous sessions. New students are always welcome!
The Fine Arts Association offers Private Art Instruction for those who would like a one on one experience that fits to their schedule. Please contact Customer Experience at (440) 951-7500 x100 if interested in Private Instruction.
