Art Classes in New Haven, CT

Our Advanced Art Class is perfect for children ages 9–14 who are ready to work more independently while still benefiting from the guidance and support of a teacher. Students create larger-scale projects using a variety of mediums, including acrylic on canvas, watercolor, sculpture, mixed media, and more. We encourage creativity, individual expression, and the development of artistic skills at each student’s own pace. Each month features a new theme to inspire creativity, along with access to hundreds of images in our in-house gallery for reference and inspiration. Whether your child has years of experience or is simply passionate about art, our welcoming studio environment provides the perfect place to learn, create, and grow.
