Kim G. says, "Alfredo is one of the most prodigious and skilled artists I have ever met. He makes his personal skills easy to understand and communicate and the way I have grown as an artist in the past 3 years with him is beyond anything I ever expected of myself, let alone something I ever expected an artist to be able to communicate to another person as a teachable skill. If you’re on the fence about hiring him, please do yourself a favor and do it!" Read more

Mrs L. says, "If you want to find your artist inner voice, Frau Legler is your best choice. You can go with any level of experience. I mean, really any, and I mean including zero experience and zero talent and she will show you how your talent is there somewhere, even if you don't know it. There is no criticism, no micromanagement, just guidance and encouragement. To me - she trusted me more than I trusted myself. And that was tremendously helpful. She has an absolutely gorgeous little studio, a very pleasant environment to bring onto the surface any artistic feeling. There is an European flair in the studio and the lessons and there is far more depth in this lady than her website shows. Best teacher you'd want!" Read more

Having been captivated by art from a young age, I find my primary inspiration in the human form. My artistic journey began while studying for my degree at Community College, and soon discovered my true passion is in Fine Art. I refined my drawing and painting skills through life drawing workshops across Los Angeles and recently earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art. Since 2019, I've showcased my work at Barclays Cafe in North Hills, California, and in January 2024, my paintings were featured in prestigious exhibitions across New York and California. I’m excited to help you explore the techniques of th

Teaching the fundamentals of painting and watching students enjoy discovering things for the first time and applying them to their own work. Helping people express themselves out side of a computer is very important in a computerized world! Using your hands and your brain to do things and accomplish art is very satisfying and has nothing to do with the digital world we are now faced to live in. I try to give people a more natural approach and emphasize what they want out of painting pictures!...

Your Art Classes questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do art classes cost near me?

Art classes cost $20 to $50 for a one-time session or $100 to $500 for a class including 6 to 10 weekly sessions. Prices for art classes depend on your location, the type of art, the school or museum offering the class, and whether the fee includes materials and art supplies. Most art instructors provide a list of the required supplies which you must purchase separately.

Can you take art classes online?

You can take art classes online through CreativeLive, Udemy, ed2go, and art specialty websites like New Masters Academy (NMA) or The Art Studio NY. Many museums, universities, studios, and individual artists also offer online art classes.

Prices for online art classes are similar to in-studio classes and primarily depend on the instructor's artistic reputation and whether the course features prerecorded videos or is held live.

What types of art classes are available?

Popular art classes offered in most locations include:

  • Drawing and sketching
  • Painting with watercolor, oil, acrylics, or pastels
  • Printmaking
  • Fabric painting
  • Ceramics
  • Sculpture
  • Jewelry making
  • Glasswork
  • Fiber arts

How do I find the best art classes near me?

Before you take the next step in your creative journey, follow these tips to ensure you find an art class that's a good fit for you:

  • First, determine what type of art you'd like to learn.
  • Decide if you want to take a one-time workshop or a multi-week course.
  • Read instructor reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Browse their portfolio of artwork created by their past students.
  • Ask about fees, class sizes, and supplies needed.
  • Visit the studio or classroom in person to check it out before signing up for a class.
  • Wear clothes that can get dirty. Some classes have aprons, but you may still get paint or other art products on your clothes.

What questions should I ask before signing up for art classes?

Before you sign up for an art class, be sure to ask the instructor these questions:

  • Which class should I take as a first-time art student?
  • Does the fee include materials and supplies? If not, do you provide a supply list?
  • What subjects do the art lessons cover?
  • Where will the class meet?
  • Are the classes restricted to certain age groups?
  • How many students will be in the class?
  • Do you offer online art classes? Are the online classes taught live or prerecorded?
  • Can I buy a class as a gift for someone?

Reviews for Los Angeles art classes

Recent success stories from people in the Los Angeles area.
Cory D.
I could leave a novel length review regarding how good my experience was with my first round of sessions were with Alfredo. I had absolutely no experience painting with oils prior to my classes. As our sessions went on, Alfredo created snd altered my class structure to accommodate what I needed. He didn't just teach me how to put oils on a canvas, but explained the importance of everything from the care and cleaning of your brushes, materials he recommended all the way to explaining color theory, sketching and more. He has played an integral role in me using art and painting to finding peace and putting smiles on my face. I cant wait to see my progress in our next round of sessions. Not only is Alfredo a great instructor, but hes my mentor and my friend. Hes helped a U.S. Marine Combat Veteran find a way to push an illness aside and use art to be happy. I hope I'm able to attach my paintings below. One is my very first completed painting and one about to be completed, and could not look anything like they do with Alfredo's guidance. They are pieces painted prior from other artists.

I loved the class. It was a beautiful natural setting. Very peaceful. The teacher, Lark was very sweet and helpful. I wasn't sure if I would like what I made, but in the end, I did. The other people who attended were also very nice and fun.…

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Machiko! Not only is she a very talented and natural musician, but she is also an inspiring and amazing teacher. My 10 yr old daughter always looked forward to lessons with Machiko, she felt supported, encouraged and challenged all at the same time!
