FAQS
What Makes Your Teaching Method Unique?
We can teach ANYONE how to draw in as little as a day.
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.
Here's What Everyone's Saying ...
Teaching the world to draw since 1991!
Welcome to a journey where art is not just a skill but a way of life! Since our founding in 1991, we have been dedicated to teaching practical art skills that empower individuals to express themselves, discover new talents, and gain confidence in their abilities. Our mission is to make art accessible to everyone and to nurture creativity in a supportive and inspiring environment.
