For years, school art programs have suffered from budget cuts and lacked the resources to give our kids the outlet for art they need. We created Children’s Art Classes to teach kids the foundations of art and build their confidence.
Our comprehensive curriculum grows with your child year after year, connecting them with peers, raising self-esteem, improving academic performance, and recognizing their talents. Empower your child with the gift of art.
During our nine-month programs, kids have the opportunity to develop their skills in over 40 areas of art. But that’s just the beginning. When you enroll your child in Children’s Art Classes, the benefits extend far outside our studio. We promote success for our students in many ways:
Choose a weekly class
Register your child
They grow their art skills and confidence… You frame their masterpieces!
We believe every child deserves a program to build their self-esteem through their love of art—to teach them the foundations, give them the proper tools, connect them with their peers, and allow them to achieve recognition through their hard work.
Children’s Art Classes was established in 1997. Barbara Gay, the founder of Children’s Art Classes, needed to supplement her teaching income to provide for her girls. She developed the curriculum, using her 30 plus years of teaching art in the public schools, and began teaching out of her garage. The need for art beyond school walls was tremendous! Now, almost 25 years later, Children’s Art Classes has expanded to over a dozen locations and counting. We have brought our curriculum of over 40 areas of art to thousands of children across the country.
My daughter (9) has benefitted from both the homeschool art class and the summer camp programming. Lots of work on building technique in a creative, supportive environment. She has enjoyed the range of projects--clay, pencil, and pastels so far. Thank you!
If you are looking for a place for your child to learn the fundamentals of art in a way they can understand - this is the right place. Ms. Barbara and Stephanie have spent their lives creating art and they are really knowledgeable. The end of the year art show is very spectacular I always wonder how they put it on. Every kid is beaming that night as they can show their family and friends the hard work they put in throughout the year.
It’s studio based art education that has been developed to raise a child’s self esteem and critical thinking while letting them explore creatively- a curriculum 30+ years in the making!
