East Bay Art School

Now Open! Try a Free Class! For both children and adults. Do you want your child to become creative, imaginative, and artistic? Do you have questions such as "Why does my child paint the sun green?" and "Why does my child draw things upside down?" You will find East Bay Art School's classes provide vital help and useful instructions, as well as answers to these questions. Our well-designed small classes encourage creativity and personal expression. We provide instruction in the use of different materials, such as pencil, crayon, watercolor, pen, pastel, and brush. We also provide techniques for rendering images and introduce children to art history and culture.

For children ages five through nine, there will be instruction in more than one process: drawing, sketching, painting, simple pattern designing, and printmaking; and for children ages 10 to 15 there will be more in-depth instruction in one or more of these processes and an optional introduction to traditional Chinese painting techniques. Each process will be related to the artwork of an artist, culture, style or time period. Art has a tremendous role in general learning and has served as one way of developing inquiring, flexible minds in children. Our classes are intended to be fun as well as educational. If you would like to enroll your child, please note the schedule and complete an application.
