Studio Arts

Each term ACE offers a comprehensive schedule of studio classes for beginning, continuing, and advanced students. We suggest that students new to art register for introductory classes, such as AE02090-Beginning Drawing. It is best to posess competent drawing skills before registering for a painting class.

Many second-level drawing classes offer opportunities to gain skills with more challenging techniques and drawing mediums. Continuing and advanced painting and drawing students will find stimulating opportunities to experience new materials and methods while developing and polishing personal styles within a supportive peer environment led by instructors who are professional artists.
