Ages 6-9

Students ages 6-9 can explore drawing and painting techniques while coming up with unique artwork. We will explore different mediums such as watercolor and acrylics, learn how to add perspective and dimension into our drawings, and let loose with some abstract art. Parents can drop kids off or stay if needed.

All materials are included.

Students will be emailed a few days before the class with a class reminder and more information, or a class cancellation notification if applicable.

She believes art and creativity is a pivotal piece of one’s connection to inner emotions and the world around them. She encourages students to connect to their inner creativity, draw inspiration from their experiences and the world around them, and boldly express themselves through art.

scholarships & aid

FAVA reviews and considers all application for scholarship assistance. While we may not be able to provide a complete scholarship to all those who request it, we are committed to making our classes available to as many people as possible – regardless of individual financial circumstances. For this reason, it is important that all scholarship requests are received well in advance of the class starting date, so we may allocate our available funds accordingly. We may consider any of the following factors when determining eligibility for scholarships:

  • Annual family income
  • Individual or special circumstances
  • Whether the applicant qualifies for the National Free/Reduced Price School Lunch program
    (for students age 18 & younger)


**FAVA also encourages applicants to consider partial scholarship assistance, in which case the student only pays some portion of the class tuition.

All information will be kept confidential and will be used solely to determine the amount of scholarship assistance to be provided.
