Cooley Studios offer classical academic fine art training for artist of all levels, beginner, intermediate and experienced. The training consist of classes geared toward each individual student artist, allowing them to progress at their own pace.
Each class consist of several assignments that progressively increase in difficulty. With each assignment successfully completed, the student gain skill, knowledge and confidence. The goal is to help the student develop an accurate seeing eye, a hand with greater dexerity and an ever seeking mind, ultimately bringing these elements together to work in harmony.
These art classes in drawing and painting are geared to teens 16 and up and adults. Classes are held on Monday through Friday from 9am to 4pm. At select times we offer evening classes, so subscribe to this site for updates and upcoming events. For cost of study at Cooley Studios, click here.
