Ready for the Next Step in Art?
Art Foundations 2 is designed for students who already understand basic drawing and are ready to create more detailed artwork while learning the techniques artists use to bring drawings to life.
Art 2 may be a great fit if your child:
✔ enjoys drawing regularly
✔ wants to add more detail
✔ is ready to learn shading
✔ enjoys experimenting with color
✔ is becoming more independent
✔ wants more challenge
Not sure? I'd be happy to help determine if Art 2 is the right fit.
Building More Than Better Drawings
Because Learning Art Should Be More Than Following Along
Stronger Drawing Skills
Students begin noticing proportions, shapes, and details that make artwork more realistic.
Think Like an Artist
Children learn WHY colors, shadows, and composition work—not simply where to place them.
More Creative Choices
Projects allow students to make increasing artistic decisions while still receiving guided instruction.
Growing Independence
Students become less dependent on copying and begin applying techniques to their own artwork.

Seeing the World Like an Artist
"I've noticed since Ellie started art classes with Jessica that her attention to detail has improved and she's noticing the shapes of objects she wants to draw. I love that Jessica focuses on the fundamental skills every artist needs while still allowing creativity."
