Want your child to enjoy a creative and engaging after-school experience? At Art World School, our After School Program in Portland gives kids the chance to explore art, develop new skills, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment.

Our program goes beyond regular art lessons by combining step-by-step instruction with opportunities to express their creativity, helping students grow as confident young artists.

Our after-school program is designed for children who want to experiment, learn, and create. Whether your child loves painting, drawing, or working with clay, we have classes that match their interests and skill level.

Hands-On Learning Every Day

Our after-school program offers many types of art classes. Students get to:

• Draw and paint with pencils, pastels, watercolors, acrylics, and more
• Create 3D art using clay, pottery, and sculpture
• Do crafts and mixed media projects to improve fine motor skills

Every class is taught by a professional artist who guides students step by step. Kids learn important skills like color theory, perspective, composition, and different techniques. This helps them build a strong foundation for all kinds of art projects.

We encourage children to try new styles, tools, and materials. This way, they discover their own artistic style while learning skills they can use in the future.

Small Groups for Personalized Attention

Our classes are small, so every child gets personal attention. Students are grouped by age and skill level, which helps them learn comfortably and feel confident in class. Our teachers work with each student to:

• Build basic art skills
• Explore new tools and art materials
• Encourage creativity and original ideas
• Boost confidence and pride in their work

This hands-on support allows students to improve quickly while enjoying their art.
