TEEN ATELIER PROGRAM
Academic Drawing & Painting
Academic drawing and painting in the classical tradition requires diligent, systematic and consistent training. The Teen Atelier curriculum at The Conservatory for Classical Art is based upon the traditional, time-tested practice of observing nature and the masterful translation thereof.
The Youth Atelier is a comprehensive course of study for the serious student beginning at age 12. As with the study of classical dance, learning a musical instrument or playing a sport, the craft of drawing and painting requires commitment, study and practice. Our program offers each student individual attention, instruction and critique. We provide a creative, fun and safe environment for the student to learn, grow and excel.
Instructors:
LESLIE LIENAU - Monday morning, Thursday afternoon or Saturday Morning
KIANA DANESHMAND - Thursday afternoon
