Students may progress to the painting class after the first six week session if they desire or may remain for the second six week session if they choose to sharpen their skill level. Students are welcome to take both the drawing and painting classes together. However taking the drawing class first if you have no drawing experience is recommended.
 
Due to constraints on availability of space, the sections/classes have been scheduled as listed.
