Weekly Art Lessons
Here at Roselle Fine Arts Academy we strive to create an environment to promote creativity, personal growth, and a sense of community. We like to think of our school as one big family, and once you take a class with us, you become part of that family!
In our weekly art lessons, students will use a wide variety of mediums, techniques, and styles. This includes drawing and painting mediums such as watercolor, acrylics, gouache, pastels, pen and ink, and charcoal, but also printmaking, collage, and clay to name just a few. We use quality art supplies to ensure students have a positive experience when exploring a new medium. Students will learn basic art concepts and techniques such as color theory, composition, and perspective. We explore art from different genres, specific artists, past and present, and art from a wide array of cultures around the world. Our small class sizes allow for one-on-one interactions with our teachers.

Registration
If a class is in session, you may still enroll to begin the following month. If you would like to inquire about being added to a class sooner, please email us at info@rosellefa.com.
If a class is showing as sold out and you would like to be added to the wait list, please contact us via email at info@rosellefa.com with details of the class, how many registrants, their information (names, ages), and best way to contact you. You will be contacted if a spot opens up and have 24 hours to respond before we try the next person on the list.
Refunds & Missed Classes
We understand things happen and plans change. But please realize that we often have to purchase dedicated supplies for classes in advance. And last minute cancellations may make a class fall below enrollment minimums. For this reason, we cannot issue refunds for most classes, even if missed due to illness or schedule conflicts. When possible, our teachers will provide a take-home kit with the supplies for the missed project, or allow make-up in another similar class if there is room and they are not already in the middle of a project. Please understand kits or make-ups are not always possible and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
For planned absences with advanced notice- If you are aware of a vacation or upcoming conflict and notify the school PRIOR TO THE FIRST OF THE MONTH, we will prorate the upcoming month’s payment to reflect the absence. Notification must be given via the “Planned Absence Notification” tab on our website: https://www.rosellefa.com/absent-notification.
