Saturday Morning Art Classes offer quality art instruction for interested and gifted students throughout Central Ohio. CCAD’s program is modeled after our renowned college-level foundation studies program, enabling youth to develop superior skills and gain a strong background in the visual arts. CCAD faculty and area arts professionals provide instruction, with CCAD students assisting in the classroom.

Children are guided through diverse artistic experiences to increase their skill level and exposure to a wide variety of techniques and media. Classes develop students’ creativity and imagination, while expanding their aesthetic and cultural sensitivity and stimulating a vital interest in the visual arts. All courses are skills-based and designed to impart the greatest amount of technical training and exploration of materials suitable for the grade level.

All lessons are sequential and age appropriate. Classes are kept small; each has an instructor and an assistant to ensure one-on-one instruction time for every student. Instructors are chosen for their dedication to education in the visual arts and their own particular strengths as artists.

Saturday Morning Art Classes run for two 10-week terms during the school year. Early elementary grades explore a variety of media and techniques designed to increase the student’s awareness of art as well as foster creativity. Fifth-grade students may choose from three course offerings geared to their grade level and intended to grow their skills and creative thinking. Upper-level students may choose from an extended menu of courses designed to increase skills and provide a more intensive work situation.
