ABOUT OUR CLASSES

Here at The Chartreuse Muse we believe that art and art appreciation should be lifelong pursuits.

The Chartreuse Muse offers a wide-ranging art curriculum designed to provide a continuity of art instruction from preschool through high school and beyond.   It all starts with the popular Mommy & Me class, designed to provide pre-schoolers with their first art experience.

In a series of courses for elementary and junior high students, budding artists will study the masters of art and have opportunities to explore a variety of art media, including drawing, painting, mixed media, and clay.  The emphasis is on creativity and fun.
High School students will build on what they’ve learned by continuing to explore pivotal figures in the arts and through progressively more challenging and sophisticated art projects, using both 2D and 3D media.  Those interested in pursuing art at the college level or as a career will have opportunities for independent study and to build a personal art portfolio.
