Art Classes

Welcome to Encore Academy of the Arts’ Visual Arts Program! Here at Encore, we offer a diverse variety of art classes for kids, teenagers, and adults, each specializing in different techniques to promote optimal learning and creativity for our students at all levels. We offer private classes, such as portfolio prep or private lessons, as well as group classes that are grouped by age, techniques, and interests. At Encore, we strive to encourage imagination and growth in the arts for all ages! Consider becoming a part of our Encore family, we would love to have you! Check out our Visual Art Classes below!

Art Classes promote creativity and innovation

Students in our Art Classes are encouraged to follow their creative energy and honor their innovative ideas. One of the most beautiful aspects about creating art is the freedom that comes with developing one’s unique touch, and we encourage this discovery.

Imagination

In many ways, making art is a great stimulator for imagination! The ability to experience art in multiple new ways is a great outlet for kids to form their own creativity, and then take this understanding to apply in all aspects of their lives.

Art is a way to release stress

One of the most amazing benefits of creating art is the ability to have lots of fun while taking part in an activity that produces a sense of overall happiness and tranquility! Participating in artistically motivating endeavors reduces stress and promotes calmness.

Last but not least… art brings accomplishment!

The completion of an art project or activity brings a wonderful feeling of success and a boost of self-esteem. Promoting these positive achievements is beneficial to creating life-long habits of success and motivation!
