Youth Programs
The arts are important, especially for children who are still learning important cognitive skills. A strong arts education helps promote the skills people need in life to be successful. Arts education has been proven to promote self-directed learning, improve school attendance and sharpen critical and creative skills.
The Studio at T. S. Artisans has a series of youth programs as well as classes for families to choose from. Categories for these programs include drawing, painting and art adventure. These programs allow children ages five through eight to discover a world full of art. Projects vary daily based on a wide range of choices provided to the students. The challenge of art is learning to let go, make mistakes and work with whatever happens!
Adult Programs
Although art education is important for younger children, you are never too old to learn something new.The Studio offers programs as well as individual classes for adults. Program categories include drawing, painting, photography, Photoshop and composition.
These programs are perfect for anyone who wants to learn something new, build on their current skills, or expand their creativity. These courses are designed to help you learn and grow your skills as an artist.
