Teaching Art Beyond the Studio

Aliki's Weekly Series in the Community

Our weekly classes offer a series of progressive lessons to a closed set of participants at the same time and day each week.

Classes are geared towards specific skill development tailored to participants’ age, developmental stage and interest. We use our Aliki’s Seven Step System, just like in the studio, and achieve the same brilliant result.

Typically, classes run for one hour each week for 6 to 10 weeks. The community organization takes care of registrations and customer payments. We bring all the materials and all the ideas.

FAQS

What Makes Your Teaching Method Unique?

Aliki’s 7-step system is a sequential process of teaching the basic fundamental skills of drawing as a series of steps. We define concepts and vocabulary, explain the process and demonstrate how to practice techniques succeed while providing feedback along the way. Our methodology has been refined and proven successful for more than three decades.

What Can I Do At Home To Help My Child Learn to Draw?

One of the best things you can do is encourage your child to use a visual reference when drawing.

Is It Possible To Learn How To Be An Artist, Even Without A Natural Talent?

Yes, it is definitely possible to learn to be an artist! While some people may have a natural inclination or talent for art, becoming an artist is largely a matter of practice, learning, and developing skills. Talent is optional – interest is an asset! Drawing classes will get one started on an artistic and creative path.

My Kids Don’t Show Much Interest In Art And I’m Not Sure If They Are Talented Enough To Take Classes. Any Suggestions?

Many children may not show an interest in art simply because they haven’t been exposed to the techniques and skills needed to create. Art education plays a crucial role in developing children’s confidence and abilities. When children are taught specific drawing skills, such as understanding shapes, proportions, and shading, they gain the tools they need to express themselves. This technical knowledge can boost their confidence and encourage them to explore their creativity.
