AFTER SCHOOL ART
OVERVIEW
After School Art Class was created to be a fun after school program for kids and youth at any skill level. These classes where created so students can get their hands on multiple art mediums with quality supplies throughout the school year. Each class is designed to teach specific techniques through beautifully crafted projects the kids will enjoy making and the parents will enjoy keeping. If you would like to see more information about the difference between the Kids After School Art Program and the Youth After School Art Program you can view that in the next section titled “Class Information”.
CLASS INFORMATION
Art Courses for KIDS - Tuesdays & Wednesdays | 3:15-5pm
Ages 5-12 years old
Tuesday and Wednesday classes are about two hours long and include all supplies and snacks. Students can come once or twice a week. Each Art Course is broken into one calendar month where we will be starting and finishing a project each day. Some courses will be longer or shorter depending on the length of the month and any major holidays. Each week we will be going over different mediums and topics.
This year we will be covering mediums like: Acrylic Painting, Watercolor Painting, Oil Pastels, Chalk Pastels, Clay, Drawing & Sketching, Colored Pencil, Markers, Paper Crafts, Sculpting, Crafting, Pen, and more! Most classes we will be starting and finishing a project the same day since my younger students move faster on projects than my older students.
Art Courses for Youth - Thursdays | 3:15-5pm
Ages 12+ years old
Thursday Youth Courses were created for older art students since we will be working on larger projects that take more time and patience. Some classes we will be focusing on practicing techniques that will better their skills. These days they will only have “practice sheets” and they will not look like finished products. When they aren’t practicing techniques, they will be working on large projects, some might last a day or two where others might last a few weeks. Unlike the kids program, this class is meant for bettering skill, not producing a finished project every class. I want my artist to slow down, focus on the skill involved and extend their knowledge on the medium we are covering. This year we will be covering all topics and mediums we can get our hands on! We will be learning more about: Acrylics, Watercolors, Pastels, Clay, Paper Mache, Needle Felting, Pencils, Pens, Mixed Media, Felts, Fabrics, Yarn, Glass and more!
Last year we had a focus in Anime, this next year we will be covering as many topics and mediums the school year allows! We will be going over still life, landscapes, character design, cartoons, florals/plants, wildlife, and more! I am excited to help my young artists find their “style” and make each project their own while building a strong portfolio. We will have a new medium we are covering monthly unlike the kids program which covers new mediums weekly.
All Sales are final
All art programs are non-refundable unless Enable Art cancels a program or class due to weather, health, an emergency, or low attendance. In those cases, the client will be notified of the cancelation as soon as possible and will be offered the options of a full refund or credit for the class or classes that are canceled. Please see “Right to Refuse Service", “Cancellations” and “Refunds & Credit” for more information on these matters.
NEW STUDENTS
Since the classes are filled by the month, Enable Art will not be allowing students to come by the day or week unless they are a new student wanting to try out a class for the first time. The new client will need to reach out to Enable Art to make sure there is space in the class before they visit. If there is space, the client will fill out the student registration form, before class starts, and will pay a trial fee of $25 for that day. If a new student decides they would like to join the class halfway through the month, that month will be prorated for the client so the student can join that class, but only if there is room available. For prorated classes the credit for one missed class still applies. This is not available for current clients and students.
CREDIT FOR MISSED CLASSES
Enable Art only credits up to one day a month per After School Art student as long as they follow the policy posted under “Cancellations” and the client makes sure to inform Enable Art of the timed absence in the appropriate manner. This means, if the policy is followed correctly, Enable Art will credit the missed day back to the clients for them to use that credit at a later date.
Enable Art reserves the right to not credit the class even if the policy is followed, if the client has already used their one credited day for that month.
LATE PICK UP
Life happens and people run late to pick up their student from art class. If a client is running late and doesn’t inform Enable Art they are running late, there will be a $10 fee after 5:15pm and a $25 fee after 5:30pm. Enable Art usually has Evening Classes and needs time after 5:00pm to clean up and prep for the next classes being offered.
