Your Child’s Artistic Journey

A Place Where Young Artists Grow, Year After Year

Join year-round classes and camps led by Director Shineh, with 20+ years of experience and a strong record of student success. Guided by Confidence Leads to Creativity, students grow in a supportive, small-class environment. From beginners to portfolio preparation, students build skills, creativity, and confidence while creating work they’re proud of.

 

JUNIOR FINE ARTS

Grades K - 5

 

For beginners and young artists who are curious about art and love exploring creativity — no prior experience required. Students explore drawing, painting, and other mediums in a warm, non-competitive environment, building confidence and creative expression from the ground up.

 

INTERMEDIATE FINE ARTS

Grades 6 - 7

 

For students who enjoy drawing and/or painting at home and want to refine their skills — all skill levels welcome. Programs focus on strengthening observational and technical skills, experimenting with multiple mediums, and encouraging creative confidence in personal expression.

 

ADVANCED FINE ARTS

Grades 7 - 12

 

For students who are ready to refine techniques and expand artistic vision — beginners with dedication and experienced students alike can thrive. Classes emphasize advanced skill development, critical thinking in art, and creative exploration — the ideal foundation for students preparing for portfolio

development.

 

COLLEGE PORTFOLIO & ELITE COMPETITION PREP

Grades 7 - 12 & College transfer students

 

Designed for dedicated students committed to building competitive portfolios (including supplemental portfolios) for college admissions across all majors, as well as for selective and prestigious art competitions—helping teen artists boost their college resumes by achieving recognition, building a strong record, and standing out in today’s highly competitive college admissions process.

PREREQUISITE REQUIRED

Minimum 2 years of Intermediate Fine Arts or 1 year of Advanced Fine Arts.

 

For new students, if your child already has a recent body of work, you are welcome to visit the studio or email the portfolio to shinehartstudio@gmail.com for review to determine program eligibility.

 

SUMMER CAMPS

Grades K - 12

 

Our Summer Camps invite learning artists in all skill levels to explore the exciting world of visual arts in a fun and supportive studio environment. Each week features engaging themes, hands-on projects, and guided instruction that strengthens creativity, observation, and confidence — and students leave with a vibrant take-home portfolio of their work. Space is limited, and camps run alongside our weekly classes — early registration is encouraged.
