OUR CLASSROOMS

Our classrooms are traditional artist studios with each student working at an easel or drawing horse. Our program is designed for students to have fun while nurturing growth and independence. We do this by teaching technical skills while allowing creative choices and encourage our students to find their own artistic voice. We aim to give our students the highest quality of art education by staffing our studio with professional artists and trained instructors who have a degree in art or are pursuing a degree in art. In our youth classes, we keep our teacher to student ratio low at 1:7 so that each student is able to have their individual needs met. This intimate environment enables us to tailor our program to help them achieve their personal artistic goals.

"We’ve watched our 10 year old develop into a young artist after spending a year at Holt. She is encouraged by her teachers and is given level-appropriate goals. We love watching her growing enthusiasm for painting!"
