An exceptional experience in fine art instruction.

Yes, we offer year-round weekly art classes and focus on providing fine art instruction to children ages 4 to 18.   Most classes are 1.5 hours in length (except Portfolio Development class which is 2 hrs).  Students may enroll at any time during the year.

Children in our Young Explorers (4-6), Foundations (7-9), and Art Development (10-12) programs will rotate through different materials and techniques each week with new lessons developed by our teaching staff each week.  Children in our Advanced Study program will work on selected media & subject matter based on their individual interests.  Once enrolled, students may continue for as long as they like..

Each of our teachers are well-credentialed (with either a Bachelors or Masters degree in the visual arts) and grew up with a passion for drawing and painting. While developing themselves as artists, they each pursued mastery of skill and value that foundation in their own personal experience.  Most importantly, each instructor at Green Forest Art Studio has a passion for sharing his or her expertise and strives to pass along his or her knowledge and love for the art-making process.

Our low teacher student ratio, combined with our personalized instruction allows teachers to cultivate close relationships with their students and to be mentors to aspiring artists.

Each class at Green Forest Art Studio begins with the instructor introducing the subject matter and materials to the entire class.  Students then receive individualized instruction tailored to their own skill level, learning new techniques and exploring concepts in greater depth as their understanding improves. This approach maximizes the total amount of instruction time for each student while also allowing students to learn from one another.

Parents are invited to schedule a Free Introductory Class for their child to trial the Young Explorers, Foundations, or Art Development class.  This class can be scheduled when there is a permanent spot available in the requested class time.  Teachers will use this class to determine whether the program is appropriate for the student, and to assess appropriate curricular level. For students, this class serves as an opportunity to participate and then decide whether they would like to enroll. Parents may watch this class.

For our advanced classes (e.g Sketch, Adv. Materials Study, and Portfolio Development) parents are invited to pay for a single session to trial the class (before enrolling in a regular 10 week session). 

Our class fees are inclusive of materials for students to use during class.  It is recommended to wear clothing that you do not mind potentially staining.

We understand that there may be some weeks where your child is unable to attend class so don’t worry – you may either schedule a makeup class or the session may be extended by another week (w/o any additional fees).

Note: For the 10 week session, all classes must be completed within 15 weeks after the start of the session.  For the 22 week session, all classes must be completed within 30 weeks after the start of the session. Refunds will not be provided for any unused credits or missed classes.
