Children's Drawing Classes
All kindergarten and elementary-aged students are required to take beginner and intermediate drawing classes as a prerequisite to some other classes. Skills learned in these foundation classes are essential to the Artsplace program. Our children’s drawing curriculum is as follows:
Beginner Drawing
