Our learning starts with the fundamentals! We begin by mastering basic shapes and strokes with pencil on paper over 2-3 classes. This solid foundation paves the way for a hands-on project that incorporates these skills. Once the project is complete, we gradually increase the challenge with slightly more advanced shapes, leading to more intricate projects in the following sessions. This continuous progression equips students with the skills necessary to tackle complex compositions based on conceptual themes.

Our classes are designed to be 60 minutes long, but to ensure we deliver the highest quality and most creative learning experience, we sometimes extend them by 10-15 minutes. This additional time is provided to you completely free of charge. Please be mindful of this when scheduling activities after class, or let us know in advance if your student needs to leave at a specific time.

Additional Notes:

To get started, students will need a few basic supplies: a pencil bag, a folder or sketchbook to hold some printer paper (a few sheets will do!), and a ruler if they already have one. In the first few classes, we'll assess your child's artistic strengths and recommend the perfect art materials to help them flourish. These additional supplies can then be purchased by parents.

We follow the Northshore School District calendar for holidays, and incorporate important Indian festivals into our schedule. This ensures a balanced program that respects both local traditions and cultural celebrations.

• Please note that taking a term break may result in losing your spot in the class

• We appreciate early communication if your child needs to miss a class. Please refer to our makeup class policy below for more details on how to handle absences.

We understand that life happens, and sometimes you might miss a class. However, to ensure individual attention for all students, makeup classes are not guaranteed. Here's what you need to know:

• Communicate absences at least 24 hours in advance. No-shows are NOT eligible for makeup classes.

• Makeup classes are only offered if:

  • There are no additional classes within the term beyond the minimum number of classes scheduled.

  • Space is available in another batch.

• Once scheduled, makeup classes cannot be rescheduled.

• Makeup classes must be completed within the same term and cannot be carried forward.

• A maximum of 3 makeup classes per term is allowed.

• There are no refunds or credits for missed classes.

• Term fees are not pro-rated for absences.

By following these guidelines, we can ensure a fair and manageable makeup class policy for all students.

• Punctuality: We value your time and aim to make the most of each class. To ensure a smooth start, please drop off your child no later than 5 minutes before the start time.

• Behavior: We maintain a positive learning environment where all students feel respected. We reserve the right to refuse admission to any participant who exhibits disruptive or disciplinary behavior.

• Parental Contact: For your child's safety, parents (or a designated responsible adult) must be reachable by phone throughout the class duration.

• Student Photography: We occasionally take photos of the class and student artwork. These may be used for our annual "Young Artists Showcase," website, or other promotional materials. We reserve the right to publish photos of students working in class or their artwork. If you do not want your child photographed, please notify us before their first class.
