Weekly Art Lessons
Here at Roselle Fine Arts Academy we strive to create an environment to promote creativity, personal growth, and a sense of community. We like to think of our school as one big family, and once you take a class with us, you become part of that family!
In our weekly art lessons, students will use a wide variety of mediums, techniques, and styles. This includes drawing and painting mediums such as watercolor, acrylics, gouache, pastels, pen and ink, and charcoal, but also printmaking, collage, and clay to name just a few. We use quality art supplies to ensure students have a positive experience when exploring a new medium. Students will learn basic art concepts and techniques such as color theory, composition, and perspective. We explore art from different genres, specific artists, past and present, and art from a wide array of cultures around the world. Our small class sizes allow for one-on-one interactions with our teachers.
Weekly lessons run month-to-month. If you would like to be re-enrolled each month automatically and be on autopay, please contact us at info@rosellefa.com so we can send you a form to set you up.
Please note important information on registration and our policies below the class listings.
Overview of Lesson Offerings
Art Experience is for ages 4-7. In this class, we will do a different project each week. The instructor will lead students step-by-step. Projects are designed to work on learning and improving basic skills.
Art Exploration I is for grades 1-4. In this class the instructor will lead the class step-by-step through a project each week. Projects are designed to challenge students and work on basic skills.
Art Exploration II is for grades 3-6. This class will do projects similar to those in Art Exploration I, but often with added technical difficulty or more creative freedom.
Art Club is for grades 5 and up. This class is typically project-based with teacher guidance, however, projects are longer and more independent than in Art Exploration II. If desired, you may request to work independently on a particular project or skill. This class has a less rigid structure than the other classes, and promotes social interactions with fellow students with similar interests.
Art Focus is also for grades 5 and up. This class is for students serious about their art and want to dive into particular areas, whether a specific medium, style, or fundamental. Each month will have a different focus, with multiple projects supporting the main theme. This class is more structured than Art Club, with the instructor leading specific skills-building exercises and then leading projects specifically chosen to incorporate and hone those skills.
Our art lesson grade ranges overlap because age is not always indicative of skill-level and maturity. You can assess which class might be a better fit for your child or feel free to contact us to help with placement. Please refer to the class listings for more detailed descriptions of each class.

Registration
Registration for ongoing weekly lessons occurs on a monthly basis unless otherwise noted. The cost at registration is based on the number of weeks in that month and any holidays, or the specified duration of the semester.
Registration closes 24 hours prior to the start of class unless otherwise noted. If the minimum enrollment for a class is not met, you will be notified after registration closes via email and will receive a full refund.
If a class is showing as sold out and you would like to be added to the wait list, please contact us via email at info@rosellefa.com with details of the class, how many registrants, their information (names, ages), and best way to contact you. You will be contacted if a spot opens up and have 24 hours to respond before we try the next person on the list.
Refunds & Missed Classes
We understand things happen and plans change. But please realize that we often have to purchase dedicated supplies for classes in advance. And last minute cancellations may make a class fall below enrollment minimums. For this reason, we cannot issue refunds for most classes. If there is a wait list and someone on the list can take your spot, you may receive a refund, minus a $5 administration fee.
For weekly lessons or other ongoing classes, you may receive credit for a single missed class in any given month, provided you notify us 5 days in advance of the start of the first day of the class for the month. This allows you to receive credit for planned vacations. This credit will usually be issued in the form of a discount code, good for use on any classes we offer, and expires in 6 months.
We do not give refunds for missed classes due to illness or schedule conflicts. When possible, our teachers will provide a take-home kit with the supplies for the missed project, or allow make-up in another similar class if there is room and they are not already in the middle of a project. Please understand kits or make-ups are not always possible and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
