Dylan T. says, "Wade Goyens, a Storyboarding Wizard and beyond! What great words can't be said about Wade!? A combination of Talent, Skill, Affordability and Flexibility always describes the best attributes we seek in an instructor of any field. Wade's got them all. Within only a year, working with Wade Goyens not only improved my knowledge and abilities (Storyboarding, Character design, Storytelling, Perspective, etc.) in the animation industry but, simultaneously sculpted a personal project of mine from a dream to a reality. Outside of the classroom, he'll go above and beyond by sending inspirational content to keep me motivated through my struggles of day to day life. It's a class I look forward to every week to both learn AND unwind! The only downside I can mention: His generous 2-3 hour sessions are not long enough! After our lessons are complete, I can go on chit chatting with him for days because you see, Wade Goyens is NOT just your mentor. He's also your friend!" Read more

P P. says, "I've taken a few painting classes throughout my life, and can say without hesitation that Rod Smith is the best teacher I've ever had. During covid, I wanted to try a few art projects that I've put on the back burner for years, like learning how to paint a portrait. Right out of the gate, Rod taught me about color and the structure of faces, and provided me with a list of supplies and paints to buy. It was straightforward and exactly what I was looking for. Not only is he a great teacher, but he's an excellent resource on the history of art and was able to give me the names of painters and books to check out. I look forward to our next class!" Read more

I often enjoy a lasting friendship with my students. One cannot teach a horse how to drink water; its thirst is the teacher from the start. But I can kindle that love, and further, I can provide tools and tips for making the uphill climb toward our creative aspirations more streamlined and effortless. At the point in which we exercise our artistic drives well, life makes all the more sense. Art gives life flavor, in that it provides the unique taste of satisfaction in an artwork well done. It breathes joy for those that seek joy in it, it expresses a pain that words cannot describe for those that feel that need; it makes known something othe...

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?

He is able to break almost every complex art related task down into reachable step-by-step exercises. It may seem formulaic at first, but that approach worked to quickly facilitate for me a solid understanding of perspective, figure drawing, portrait painting, and even sculpture. His critiques can seem brutally honest, but that’s an asset which also helped stimulate some rapid artistic growth for me.
