Beginner ART: Introduction to the Fine Arts for 3-6 yrs.
Recent study has shown that students who participate in the arts perform better in other fields of study. It helps student to develop higher order skills (HOTS) and problem -solving ability. Beginner-1 class includes painting and work with different materials. Beginner-2 program is adding drawing. Begiiner-3 program includes painting, drawing, multi-media and elements of composition.
Intermediate ART Classes for 6-9 yrs.

Intermediate-1 and Intermediate-2 students "graduate' from project-centered approach and use of various materials, but concentrate on further mastering of drawing, pianting and composition. Elements of prospective are also introduced. Children draw still life and protraits, and copy from photographs: animals and flowers are mong favorites.
Art Discoveries: Advanced/Intermediate Art Classes for 9-12 yrs.
Additionally to further advancement of technical skills in painting, drawing and composition, children will study the great works of the certain style or historic period from art reproductions, find typical features of this style through observation, discussion and teacher's explanations, and try to create their own works using technique typical for that style according to their level of understanding and skills. We do not expect majority of our children to become professional artists, but we expect them ultimately to become civilized and creative adults. Students draw still life, portraits, and sometimes - weather permitted - landscape (limited to our surroundings.) They copy from various photographs and paintings: animals, nature and portraits.
Painting, Drawing, Composition for children of 12 yrs. and older, teens and adults.

Students who completed "Introduction to the Fine Arts", "Art Discoveries", or any similar program, and those who show strong inclination or unusual capacities in Art, are encouraged to take lessons with an acclaimed professional artist, member of dozens of international exhibits.
More than 70 of his former students were admitted into prestigious art schools and are currently working as artists, architects, animators, art directors and designers. Those who chose professions not related to art treasure these lessons through their adulthood as an experience that enriched their whole life.
