For lower level course,  Emphasis is placed on understanding simple elements of design (line, form, color, texture, symmetry, etc.).

Intermediate course offers a wide variety of media such as pencil, oil pastel, water colors, and ink, and provides an atmosphere that encourages the full realization of each individual's potential.

Advanced course encourages kids with broader, working knowledge of many materials and techniques to have a confidence in their own self-expression and ability level.
