CLASSES FOR FALL 2023 AND WINTER & SPRING 2024

In all our classes we teach the elements of art and principles of design, along with techniques to develop and improve creative skills. We encourage art appreciation and incorporate art history, while exploring a wide range of art experiences. Students will engage in creative thinking, problem solving, self-expression – and fun! 

All supplies are included with class tuition. Every student’s artwork is valued and showcased by mounting it on black backing board! Art classes are held at the Cottingham Home, 708 S Broadway, Pitman, NJ.

Classes run in 7-week sessions - fall, winter and spring. We recommend taking all 3 sessions for the full range of art experiences. The sessions are structured as a full year with lessons building upon one another, although sessions may also be taken individually.

Our class size is limited. We keep our classes at only 6-8 students to allow for individual instruction and help. Be sure to register early! There is a $30 discount for registering for all three sessions. A non-refundable $25 deposit is required for session 2 and 3, with the balance due at the start of each session.  We also offer a sibling discount of 10%. 

 A friendly reminder to please arrive no sooner than 5 minutes before class begins, unless previous arrangements have been made. Also, please remind your child to refrain from using phones or electronics during class unless requested. Thank you!
