Hello, my name is Joseph and I am a fourth year architecture student. I studied visual art in high school and have since taught myself how to paint. What I bring to the table is a combination of design intellect and artistic expression. I am very passionate about what I do. I believe the key to learning any skill is patience and curiosity. Hence, I try to find out subjects my students are curious about, and urge them on with patience till they develop their own style.

An artist first, I officially founded www.artportfoliodevelopment.com in 2010 and have since worked with hundreds of students, guiding each to reach their individual artistic goals. I approach working with each student according to their individual needs and goals, and ultimately develop a curriculum unique to their personal skill sets. You may choose to come to my studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, or to work from the comfort of your own home through in person on-line sessions. Students will feel confident tackling even the most challenging of projects in a 1:1 environment, supported through relevant art historical lectures and technique d

I feel that I relate to people very easily on a one-to-one basis. I am a good listener, and I enjoy getting to know my students both as people and as artists. I am extremely patient. There is nothing more satisfying than being with someone when they find themselves artistically.

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 New York art classes

Recent success stories from people in the New York area.
Ziek P.
I’ve had classes with Rob in an art league class setting, a small private in-home group setting, and also private one to one instruction in his studio. My painting skills really took off under his direction. With Rob’s help I began to actually see the subject and the lighting with different eyes. What I especially appreciate about Rob’s style of teaching is his special ability to meet each student where they are. He’s working to help each student to their next step, rather than trying to teach them to replicate his works. I highly recommended Rob as a portrait art instructor.

My daughter enjoyed the art classes that she had with Madhu. We are only sorry that we never found Madhu earlier. We plan to go back next summer.
