Kids/Young Adult Art Lessons
Recommended for age 8 and up, private/semi-private (siblings or friends) lessons are taught at Hummingbird Arts Studio on a weekly basis.
Students will start with basic drawing techniques, still life and observation, and will move to charcoal, watercolor, and a variety of medium. Older students will experiment with oil paint. I am passionate about learning to draw from life and adding creativity through subject matter, composition, and use of color.
Basic supplies are included in the lesson price. Large canvases, boards, frames, and specialty materials may incur an additional fee.
Children/young adult lessons are conducted in two sessions: September to June, and July to August.
Lesson Times
Lesson times and days are scheduled based on availability at the time the student signs up for the lessons. Requests to change current lesson times and days during sports, band/orchestra, and theatre seasons need to be done with advanced notice and will be honored based on availability.
Children/Young Adult Lesson Prices
1-hour private—$50 (semi-private—$10 per additional child, up to 3 total)
2-hour private—$90 (semi-private—$10 per additional child, up to 3 total)
Payment is due at the 1st lesson of every month to secure your lessons for the month.
Cancellation or Make Up Policy
Your lesson time and day have been set aside for you specifically. If you are unable to make your designated lesson, I need enough notice so that I can schedule other students in place for a make-up. Make-up lessons will be provided for students who miss due to illness. Students have 60 days to schedule a makeup session. “No-show” students will forfeit the right to make up the lesson.
Inclement Weather
Hummingbird Arts Studio follows the Hamilton School District inclement weather closing schedule and will make every effort to provide make-up lessons for students affected by the weather closings.
Adult Art Lessons
I offer flexible weekly, biweekly, and one-time lessons for adults from beginner to experienced. Work at your own pace in a judgment-free environment.
Whether you just want to draw, paint, or play with materials, sessions are specifically tailored to your interest and to work with your busy schedule. Lessons will include information on suggested materials to build your own home art studio.
Adult Lesson Prices
1-hour private—$50
2-hour private—$90
Payment is due at the time of each scheduled session.
Summer Lessons
While kids are out of school, I offer private and semi-private art sessions on a weekly or monthly schedule. Whether you want your child to do one or two fun projects, experiment with different medium, or just make some art, your child will have a great experience!
Summer booking starts in March. Current students will have the opportunity to keep their scheduled time slots during the summer or change them. For more information about the summer schedule, please contact me.
