I love photography. I started out in a beginners photography class back when people used film. This inital interest became my way of expressing who I was. I went art school to study photography in New York and finished my undergraduate degree at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago.

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

  • Glasswork
  • Fiber arts

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.

  • 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?

Mirror M.
The whole shooting process is very laid back. You only shoot what you're comfortable in; Christopher will never push you or try forcing you to do anything you're not comfortable or wanting to shoot. He has phenomenal communication skills which translates into getting the best photos possible. He works with models of all sizes and knows how to get the best shots by knowing what poses flatter your body type without causing insecurities or magnifying any insecurities or concerns you have before your shoot. If hair or wardrobe needs adjusted he will either tell you what needs moved or will ask permission to adjust it; he's extremely respectful of your personal space. He is all about your safety and comfort levels and works with you to maintain those boundaries. The editing and getting final pictures have a quick turn around time without sacrificing quality. I have shot with hime numerous times and will continue to shoot with him in the future any chance I get. 10/10 ⭐s
