Q: What does the Colorful Moments Art School do?

A: We teach weekly art classes for kids and adults at affordable price rates and with various styles of art, from pencil sketching to glass painting.

While we are based in the SF Bay Area, our class format is currently online, and so we’ve been able to expand our student population to international regions!

Creativity is a state of mind. We all have great ideas, we just have to learn to express them. Our belief: Learn the skills, the rest will follow.

Our class demonstrates that anyone can learn to draw and paint. Students learn the fundamentals of drawing, painting, artistic composition and self-assessment. They will also understand the correct techniques for drawing shapes, figures, and many common objects.

Once students are proficient in their drawing skills, they progress into the exploration of different painting mediums, such as acrylic and watercolor. Students receive extensive instruction in the use of each painting medium, including color-mixing, painting techniques, and the proper use and care of materials. They will also learn how to express their imagination and feelings with various styles of art.

Our goal is always to inspire and awaken students’ artistic passions. Students are taught individually and with a personalized curriculum, taking into account their personal abilities, skills, interests, and needs. They each move ahead at their own pace. Class size is kept small (maximum class size limited to 6 students) to emphasize personal attention. We create a warm and accepting atmosphere where everyone can feel successful with their efforts while having fun and appreciating both the process and the product of making art.

In our classes, CMAS students are exposed to a variety of different styles of art, various media (from color pencils, pastels, watercolors to pen & ink, acrylic, oils, charcoal, graphite, and much more), along with countless art techniques (from basic principles to advanced level) and projects.

Besides learning technical and artistic skills, students gain patience, focus, pride, and confidence in their work.
