Is your child interested in Art? Art FUNdamentals® is a fine arts program that will have your child exploring the world of art through weekly classes. Each month, students will learn about the fundamentals of art, including Line, Color, Shape, Form, Pattern and Texture. Students will work with clay, watercolors, drawing, collage, and oil pastels! A unique part of this program is the teaching of Master Artists. Research shows that art improves self-esteem, leads to higher test scores in classrooms, and helps to create a sense of belonging and community.

FMAA has Art FUNdamentals® classes for students ages 6-14, which are being held at the Fresno Music Academy & Arts Annex.

The classes are structured with a specific curriculum that focuses on a different artist and their style each month. The classes sessions are age-specific (classes for 6-9-year-olds and for 10-14-year-olds), with a maximum of 6 students in each class.

For the 6 to 9-year-olds, we have a 45-minute class once a week, and the monthly tuition is $112.

For the 10 to 14-year-olds, we offer a 45-minute class once a week, and the monthly tuition is $112.

Additionally, there’s a one-time materials fee of $50 that covers a backpack with starter materials along with all the supplies they’ll need throughout their membership.

We offer a trial class option for new students. It’s a great way for students to experience our Art FUNdamentals® class with no obligation beyond that point. During the trial class, they’ll get to participate fully and get a taste of the fun and educational experience we offer. It’s just $25 for the one-time trial session. After the trial class, if the student loves the experience and would like to continue with Art FUNdamentals®, we’ll be happy to enroll them for the regular sessions. If not, there’s no obligation whatsoever. We want to make sure it’s the right fit for your child before committing to the full program.

Because of the way the curriculum is formulated, students will start at the first of the month - so if you’re signing up in the middle of the month, we will schedule students to begin on the first session of the next month so they get the most and best out of the current curriculum.
