Art ‘N You offers fine art classes in a tutored environment as well as group classes. These students are drawing animals using chalk pastels. We first demonstrate how to draw particular animal using visuals. Then students select the animal they like and use a picture as a reference point.

Private Tutoring

Art ‘N You can come to your own home and demonstrate a foundation in basic drawing skills through private lessons to your student or child. Private instruction begins at $40 per hour depending on the age of the student and the location. Students begin shading simple shapes and objects, and animals of their choice. We begin with pencil and chalk or oil pastels and then increase in complexity. We recommend a monthly commitment of 4 one-hour lessons to get started, and to allow the student to develop their own creative expression at their natural pace.

Students also have the opportunity to experience various media: watercolor and acrylics for an additional fee. I will let you practice with our supplies so that you may experiment with different mediums before purchasing your own art supplies. We will help you in selecting and purchasing supplies that are of good quality and durability.

Private Group Lessons

Want a specific class that can fit into your time schedule? For a group of 5 or more students we can customize your own art class. Depending on the medium, you choose, and time, we can make it happen in your home, school, or homeschool group. The class can even include parents, and other family members and friends!

Look at the Class Examples or suggest something you are interested in. Contact us for fees.
