Is My Young Artist Ready for Classical Art Classes?

Here are some guidelines to help you

(We offer classes to ages 8 and up but sometimes young artists aren’t quite ready at 8 and occasionally even 7 year olds are ready.)

  1. Able to retain attention, interest and focus while staying in one’s seat for 1.5 hours?

  2. Understands basic concepts like one thing being half the size of another etc? Or one width stacking 2 times, like blocks, into the height of another thing.

  3. Demonstrates interest in art and drawing?

  4. Is open to the idea of looking at something and drawing with a desire to be fairly accurate, instead of only imaginative drawing?

  5. Has a desire to learn something new?

  6. Ability to follow directions?

Whether your child is older or younger than 8, I am most interested in knowing that you see the possibility for these things being present or potentially present in your young artist.
