And all of your materials will be laid out ready for you to use. You will just need an apron and a packed lunch. We will go through the materials, how to use them all and work first on a monochromatic still life and then get introduced to color work in the afternoon. No experience is necessary! A $35 materials fee, payable to the instructor, must be paid at the beginning of class.

Parents:  It is vital that your student arrive on time for class.  Due to late arrivals, students are falling short of their 30 hours of class time and must make up the time.  Because the State of Maine requires 30 hours of class time, if your student arrives late, they will be turned away, and a charge will apply (below) for the class to be made up.  It is very important that your student arrives on time.  Unfortunately, we cannot make any exceptions.  Thank you for your understanding.

PLEASE NOTE:  Parents are required to attend the last 45 minutes of the first class AND participate in a ride-along with your child for one hour of their 10 hour driving lessons requirement. 

**Please Note: A make-up fee applies to all missed classes and driving sessions. ** **
