  • About us

    The Marvegos Fine Art School



    Our fine art for children curriculum runs the entire school year with once a week classes and provides students with a comprehensive understanding of particular concepts, media and terminology used in art-making. Our school year for kids’ art is divided into four sessions. Students attending all sessions qualify to participate in our annual student art exhibit in June. All programs focus on creating original works of art rather than asking the student to copy an instructor. The classes are grouped by age:

    Art Exploration (ages 4 ½ - 7)

    Students learn the terminology used in the world of fine art making through an interactive method. The approach to art for preschoolers and younger kids is age appropriate, fun and will help to develop each student’s confidence in making creative decisions. Our Art Exploration program prepares students for our Fine Art Fundamentals program. The student/ teacher ratio is 7:1.

    Fine Art Fundamentals (ages 7 – 11)

    Our Fine Art Fundamentals program is a developmental program, allowing participants to build on what they learn from session to session. Our semi-private classes (7:1 student/teacher ratio) and program planning ensure continuity of instruction and nurture individual student development in fine art. Students enjoy the challenges and joys of creating ‘original’ works of art while developing observation and problem solving skills. Each session of kids’ art is devoted to a particular media. There is a one-hour pre-requisite class for new students to the Fine Art Fundamentals program.

    An Early Fine Art Fundamentals class eases our 7-year-old students into a more intense study of form and composition. Students are automatically placed in an appropriate Fine Art Fundamentals class when you register.

    Advanced Exploration (Ages 11+)

    This program is designed to develop self-directed art makers. Through some initial guidance, students make the studio their own by learning to set goals, design their own projects and be responsible for their own learning and projects. Students build an awareness of the world around them through the process of creating their own projects. No prior art training is required. Interest in art making is a must.

    There is a 7.5 - 10 hour pre-requisite class for entering students to this program.

    Homeschool Art Classes
    Schedule

    Our classes for homeschoolers are identical to our fine art classes offered in the afternoon and weekends at our studios. The rate of the Homeschool classes are less, however, because the classes are offered at times during the weekday when the studio is in less demand such as the mornings and early afternoons. When you register online, ‘home’ or ‘homesch’ are the best search terms to use when locating these classes.


    Winter and Spring Break Art Programs
    Schedule

    Full day, half day camps, one hour, one-and-a-half hour and two hour classes are available throughout winter and spring breaks. Our classes are are media-specific allowing students to focus on Drawing, Watercolor, Printmaking or Mixed Media.

    Summer Art Programs
    Schedule

    Our kids’ art program provides a rich variety of art-making opportunities for students, age 4 ½ - 17 and includes art for preschoolers, fine art camps, workshops and classes. Full Day and Half Day camps, including some drop in options as well as one-hour, 1.5 hour and 2 hour classes, are offered. Summer programs are week-long programs. Classes and workshops are media-specific: drawing, watercolor, acrylic painting, ceramics, mixed media, action figure art, sculpture, on location drawing and painting, portfolio building and more.
