Travis C. says, "Sam made art making about having fun! I was raised to feel like I had to make art that had to look a certain way. Sam taught me that art is about expressing myself and sometimes it takes some exploring during the art making process to find the expression, that it’s okay to not know exactly what something will look like at the end. Interesting enough he also provided me with tools for better planning ideas as well" Read more

Having taught art for twenty years, I have a big bag of art teaching tricks. I am certified to teach art in Texas and taught for years in Austin ISD. I prefer to teach more generalized art lessons that cover a variety of projects and media as opposed to in depth drawing or painting. I am well suited to provide online art home school instruction. As a teaching artist I currently teach Art School at The Contemporary in Austin and facilitate art projects for seniors for the non profit, Mobile Art. The song writing lessons are more like coaching. I will guide you through the writing lyrics for verses, chorus and bridge and help you come up with h...

Your Art Classes questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

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 Austin art classes

Recent success stories from people in the Austin area.
Kelley A.
I have taken many, many photography classes over the last few years in Austin, on the internet and in other cities. Brian is the only instructor I have met who seems to enjoy teaching as much as he enjoys photography. His expertise is immediately obvious, but he is never boastful/showy. He takes pride in his students' accomplishments and celebrates their successes. His pride and happiness are obvious when his students evolve in their photography. I have found this to be a rare quality, as most instructors seem to feel challenged/competitive (even threatened) when their students do well. I attribute my own photography growth as largely related to his classes and instruction (I have taken every class he offers and some more than once). Don't pass up a chance to take a class from him

He is fantastic! Works well with you and is super encouraging. I can’t wait to see how my art progresses with his instruction.

Shaun really provides great resources so that you can continue to practice and learn on your own. He showed me an easier way to make different characters and put them in a story scene. Before that I couldn't really draw my own stories.

Gary was excellent! A skilled photographer and consummate professional, Mr. Carrillo assisted us with my son’s first photography class. Gary showed me that his abilities and patience extend to all age ranges and skill levels. He researched my son’s camera prior to the course and was able to answer all questions, as well as preemptively show us how to artistically approach shots from different angles and focal points. My eleven year old emerged out of the session with a better understanding of photography than myself (at least pretty close to it) and an experience which he hasn’t stopped talking about yet!

I came to Beth with 40 years experience in printmaking, needing an introduction to acrylic painting. She had a broad variety of artistic tools to show me including creating/selecting colors, different brush strokes, and different approaches to portrayals (impressionistic, realistic and abstract). Jieun Beth is talented, fun to work with, and flexible in tailoring her approach to students' needs. I highly recommend Jieun Beth!
