Discover the magic of open ended art explorations and themed projects each week led by teacher Cristina Medina. We will explore color, texture, shape, and line. We will paint, collage, print, draw and everything in between!

Students are trained in the classical, traditional art school method, focusing on foundational techniques, discipline, and strong observational skills. This approach builds a solid artistic foundation, preparing students for advanced work, personal artistic growth, and portfolio development for future academic or professional opportunities.
