Portland is a city where creativity flourishes, and at Art World School, we are proud to be part of this thriving artistic community. Whether you’re just beginning your artistic journey or you’re a seasoned artist looking to refine your craft, Adult Art Classes in Portland offer something for everyone. We cater to all skill levels with a flexible, personalized approach that ensures you get the most out of your artistic experience.

1. Small Group Classes or Private One-on-One Instruction

At Art World School, we prioritize individualized attention and a supportive learning environment. Our adult art classes are designed to be intimate, with small group sizes of just six students. This ensures that every student receives the guidance and feedback they need to grow. If you prefer a more personalized experience, we also offer one-on-one private sessions. These private lessons can be scheduled at your convenience, giving you the freedom to work at your own pace.

To make your scheduling seamless, we create a Mindbody scheduling account for each student, allowing you to easily book classes at times that fit your schedule. This flexibility ensures that learning can fit into even the busiest of lives.

2. Balanced Instruction: Group Lessons and Individual Guidance

Each of our adult art classes is a combination of group instruction and individual guidance. The class begins with a brief introductory lesson, where your instructor demonstrates specific techniques and mediums. After this, the focus shifts to personalized mentorship. While the instructor provides one-on-one support, each student works on their own unique projects. This format allows you to explore your artistic interests while also receiving tailored guidance to improve your technique.

Whether you’re interested in painting, drawing, sculpture, or mixed media, our instructors provide instruction on various mediums, giving you the opportunity to experiment and expand your skills. You’ll be encouraged to create projects that align with your interests and skill level, or you can work on examples provided in class to help you practice new techniques.

3. Work on Your Own Projects or Follow Guided Examples

One of the things that makes our Adult Art Classes so special is the flexibility we offer. Students are encouraged to work on their own projects that resonate with their artistic goals. Whether you’re working on a portrait, a landscape, or experimenting with abstraction, you’ll have the freedom to follow your passion.

If you prefer more structure, our instructors also provide guided examples that allow you to focus on mastering specific techniques. These examples are carefully crafted to help you practice new skills while still giving you the freedom to express your creativity.

4. Opportunities to Showcase Your Work

At Art World School, we believe in celebrating creativity and providing opportunities for students to share their work with the community. As an adult art student, you’ll have the chance to participate in art shows, enter state, national, and international art competitions, and even take part in art performances. These opportunities allow you to gain exposure and connect with other artists, while building confidence in your abilities. It’s a great way to take your art beyond the classroom and share it with the wider world.

5. Trial Classes and Special Discounts

If you’re not sure which class is right for you, we offer a trial class for new students. You can experience our teaching style for just $20 for a group class or $30 for a one-on-one session. This allows you to test the waters and see if the class structure fits your needs before committing to a full class package.

6. Membership Options for Long-Term Artistic Growth

For those who are ready to commit to their artistic journey, we offer membership packages that come with amazing perks. Membership includes art supplies, an art bag, one free group class, and a one-year discount on all future classes and programs. Membership also allows for greater scheduling flexibility, as you won’t be bound by the non-member usage period for each class package.

If you’re still unsure, you can also join as a non-member and enjoy the same benefits without the long-term commitment.
