Working from photographs and life, students are taught formal drawing and painting techniques. All the while, students are steered toward creative thinking and shown how to use the photograph as inspiration to create an original piece of art. Students are encouraged to use their imagination and arrange the elements in a piece to suit their individuality. Every day brings a new experience, fun, and creativity!
Art Adventures builds strong minds and self-confidence.
Working in a guided, relaxed setting, students pick their own subject matter and work at their own pace. Every piece of art is different, so the classroom is void of competition. We listen to music and have fun while we create!

There are about 8 students in a class. Small classes ensure an intimate setting and high-quality instruction.
Yes! That is possible. Due to the 1:1 individualized instruction, a variety of ages can be in class together.
Absolutely not! We teach our students one-to-one. For example, at any given time in an Art class, a student may be finishing a painting while his neighbor is in the middle of drawing while her friend is just beginning oil pastels, while someone else is using colored pencils…. etc. No two pieces of art are the same, and everyone works at their own pace. Plus, young or old, we treat each student with special care and make sure that everyone is being taught suitably for their level. This unique classroom dynamic allows students to enjoy their Art and each other without any stress or feeling of competition.
Payments are made on a month-to-month basis no matter how many weeks are in a month. Your child will begin the first week of the first full month after you sign up. For example, if you register in the middle of February, your child will begin the first week of March.
No, our program is designed as a year-long session, however, you are only committed to 1 month at a time. Join us anytime!
There is a $65 membership fee. (If you register more than one student, additional registration fees are waived.)
Our Fall/Spring session begins in September, after Labor Day, and runs through May. Register prior to Labor Day for a rate of $70/month. (This is our Early Bird Special.)
Register anytime between Labor Day and April 1st at a rate of $80/month.
No, the fee is broken up into monthly installments. Monthly installments will be due on the first of every month. Only the registration and supply fees are due at the time of registration.
All Art supplies are included. There is an optional Art Kit. (This makes a wonderful holiday or birthday gift!) The Art Kit includes similar art tools and supplies that are used in class. The Art Kit helps students learn to care for their supplies and gives them a sense of ownership.
We prefer students to have the specific supplies listed in the supply kit. We have had many years of experience with these brands, and they help to ensure success in class.
We accept cash and checks at the studio and credit online. Cash payments must be made in person at the studio.
A two-week notice by mail or email is required to stop the month-to-month billing.
You need to register each year.
If you would like to be placed on a waiting list, you must do so by phone or email. Waiting lists are built on a first-come basis.
We are closed the week of Thanksgiving and observe Chesterfield County Schools’ spring and winter breaks. We are open during all other holidays.
For the safety of our students, when Chesterfield County Schools are closed for the ENTIRE day due to inclement weather, Art Adventures will also close.
We provide make-up on an individual basis. Please contact the studio to schedule your make-up.
Fall/Spring classes run through May and conclude with an exhibit of each student’s work completed in class at Art Adventures. All matted, framed, and sculptural pieces are accepted. There are awards and smiles all around!
The Art Show is a grand occasion and a wonderful experience for the entire family. However, only students who are currently taking art in May may participate in the event.
Oh, no! EVERYONE can make great Art! We invite students of all ages and skill levels to join Art Adventures. We emphasize self-confidence and use positive reinforcement to ensure every student has a wonderful experience at Art Adventures.
Absolutely. We work with many advanced students to sharpen their skills, teach upper-level techniques, and expand their creativity. (We also help students build their portfolios for specialty centers and colleges.)
Although we provide cotton smocks, we do suggest students dress in casual play clothes.
Yes!
