If you’re looking for a fun, educational, and truly inspiring art experience for your child, our Fine Art Program Portland at Art World School is the perfect place to begin. With small class sizes, experienced teachers, and a personalized approach, every child gets the chance to grow at pace and explore the world of fine arts with confidence.
A Program Built for Every Young Artist
At Art World School, we believe that every child is unique—and their art education should be too. That’s why our fine art program in Portland offers small group classes with only six students per class or private one-on-one sessions.
This gives our instructors the ability to focus on each student individually and provide step-by-step guidance based on their skill level, needs, and interests. We offer two age-based programs:
- Ages 4–7
- Ages 8 and up
This ensures that students learn in an environment designed just for their developmental stage.
Flexible Scheduling and Convenient Booking
Parents love our flexibility! With a Mindbody scheduling account, you can book classes in a way that works perfectly for your family’s schedule. Want a weekly group class? Prefer one-on-one lessons? We make it .
New students can also try a trial class at a discounted rate—only for a group class and for a private class. It’s a way to see our teaching style and explore the classroom.
Students Choose Projects
One of the things that makes our fine art program stand out is the freedom we give students. Whether your child loves animals, landscapes, characters, or abstract designs, our teachers help them bring their vision to life.
With personalized step-by-step instruction, students learn new techniques, practice different mediums, and slowly build strong skills they can use in school, hobbies, and future art studies.
