About

Our Plano Little Artist semester meets on Mondays or Tuesday from 4pm - 5pm during the school year. You pick 1 day and stay in your set class for the semester.

We teach your growing artist how to draw in pencil, charcoal, and pastels. We will teach painting techniques in acrylic and watercolor paints. We will blend in using mixed media techniques as well. Over our 18 week semester you will see your child's art skills progress!

We book our classes per semester. We only have Spring & Fall Semester.

Adventure Tips

Choose Your Day Wisely

Classes are held Mondays or Tuesdays; pick a consistent day for the entire semester to ensure steady progress.

Prepare for Messy Fun

Students will get hands-on with paints and clay, so dress children in clothes that can handle a splash of creativity.

Bring Your Own Tie-Dye Items

During tie-dye weeks, kids may bring personal t-shirts or fabric items to customize, adding a personal touch to the experience.

Arrive 10 Minutes Early

Arriving early helps kids settle in and start on time, maximizing the hour-long class.
