flexible Class schedules
Wednesdays 17:00 To 19:00 - 9 to 12 y/o.-
Starting at 5:00 this is a right after school time
slot. It is
designed for the 9 to 12 age group.
It will initially, for a term or two cater to this
age group. If at that stage demand for classes to 6
to 9 year old exceeds time slots, it could cater bor
one or two younger ones.
We would try to keep those two groups on different
days but mixing them up
is also
possible. The reason is that individual
tuition makes it possible quite well.
Fridays 17:00 To 19:00 - 6 to 9 y/o
Starting at 4:00 this is a right after school time
slot. It could fit both the 5 to 8 and the 9 to 12
age groups of younger students in the family since
it finishes early enough at 6:00.
We would try to
keep those two geoups on different days but there is
no problem mixing them up. The reason is that
individual tuition makes it possible quite well.
Fridays 19:00 To 21:00 - 9 to 12 y/o
As the day wears on this time slot was originally
meant for 13+ teenagers and adults (this two age
groups mix well, they always help each other). It
gives time to the younger to get some homework done
before class, and the working adult to get home
after work, or to class. If need be it is possible
to start late at 19:00 hs and complete the two hours
by 21:00 hs.
Saturdays 15:00 To 17:00 - 6 to 9 y/o
Handy
time slot for the 5+ to
9 age group. Young ones
aren't always welcome in older age groups. Not
because they mind but rather because the older kids
are not little any more. So, while there can be
exceptions we try to keep this slot for the little
ones.
Saturdays 17:00 To 19:00 - 9 to 12 y/o
This class time is
reserved for the 9 to 12
year old age group. Still,
other age groups can share. If
children from the 5 to 8 group need to come on a
Saturday but can't make it to the earlier class they
are welcome to join.
Saturdays 19:00 To 21:00 - 13+ & Adults
This
class was originally scheduled for adults,
still
two hour duration
(Used to be 3). The reason behind this reasoning
is two-fold. One, that it's later in the day. Two,
that adults can keep their focus longer than
children, therefore a three hour span is very
useful if chosen.
Current Schedule
You can attend every week from January
to December, or only during school terms, it's up to
you. Teaching is one to one.
So, new students can start at any time during the term.
You have the choice of learning Drawing, Painting or
Soft pastels. I suggest to learn drawing first, since it
forms the basis for all other forms. But you can learn
painting instead, if that's what you want. A basic
drawing technique is included with the painting and
pastels classes.
My aim is to teach all my students
what I know: To produce good quality work and get paid
for it.
My paintings hung in prestigious
institutions, so it should be with my students work,
given time.
I teach, help and prepare all students to
exhibit their work in local and national exhibitions,
get exposure and receive a fair price!
All my students are ready to get commission work
during and after completion of the course.
Many also
win art prices, which is comforting to know and also
more than justifies the cost.
It is not unusual
for our students to
get back the cost of the course within a year of
doing it.
drawing classes
We always
suggest to do the
drawing course first, since it
forms the base for all other forms.
Drawing and sketching will inspire creativity.
You don’t have to be an artist, just willing to learn.
From the simplest Pixar characters to the colorful and
complex droids of Star Wars as well art projects
inspired by different eras in art history! Each student
will be given individual attention and will be able to
explore techniques in charcoal pencils, pastels, drawing
and painting.
Have fun learning
various drawing techniques to create the many cartoon
characters we see on TV, movies, and graphic novels.
painting classes
If you want to pursue a career
in the arts, where you learn the ways of the old
masters, and by that I mean learning how to REALLY
paint, then Michelangelo Art School is the school for
you. No school nowadays will teach you how to paint like
Rembrant, Bougerou, Ingres...
In fact many art
schools these days do not teach you that in art,
learning is life long and it does not end with a degree.
Michelangelo Art School emphasizes that. Furthermore
many art schools focus simply on art being just paint
splattered on a canvas that sells for millions and where
the "artist" i.e. like KOONs and Andy Warhol do not even
do any work at all.
Michelangelo Art School is very much like how people
back in the ECOLE des Beaux
- Arts were taught, or how those in the high
renaissance were taught, in the atelier style, by the
end of one course you will have learned how to truly
draw which is the basis of all art!
