Students, as young as 5, begin gaining a solid foundation in drawing techniques in their very first class. We believe that everyone deserves the real, fundamental basics of art. Mission: Renaissance is the first Fine Art School whose caring, highly trained instructors teach each student these ABC’s individually. Anyone can acquire art skills when taught our easy-to-understand way. The secrets of the great masters unfold step-by-step in our classes. This fun, simplified version of these traditions, result in immediate and continuous improvement-even for a child as young as 5 years old. Using a charcoal pencil and pastels, students learn to build a drawing through the use of simple shapes and how to create colorful, 3-dimensional effects, resulting in their finished work looking life-like.

Mission: Renaissance demonstrates that talent can be acquired. Drawing and painting beautifully are teachable, and learnable activities for children, teens and adults at Mission: Renaissance. An art background is invaluable for the future and present of anyone’s quality of life. Remember that anyone can learn How To Draw And Paint beautifully in Mission: Renaissance Fine Art schools.
