Weekly Studio Classes

Classes offer fine art learning opportunities for all artists looking to grow their skills and Knowledge. All skill levels and school ages are welcome. Class sizes are designed to be small, with a max of 10-12 students. Allowing for an intimate group setting while also focusing on supporting the self-expression and individualized growth of each student.

Each class spans 1-hour and repeats weekly for the duration of the season, typically 9-10 weeks. There will not be classes on school holidays, I follow the SVSD calendar. If SVSD cancels school due to snow/wind art classes are also canceled that day, in this case I will do my best to extend the session so we don’t loose that class. There are no refunds, credits, or reschedules for individuals that miss classes, I will help them catch up when they return to class.

All classes at ASH Fine Arts are based on the Elements of art and Principals of Design along with my personal experience in both University Art School and the professional Art World. My studio is always a playful, inclusive, engaging learning environment where every student artist is empowered to discover their unique creativity, without fear of judgement, while building life long disciplines and an appreciation for the fine arts.

Artists will bring home 3-5 final well developed art pieces per session along with a portfolio to contain/protect their artwork and store any drafts or skill building materials we create over the session. No experience or prerequisites needed, all materials are provided, and lesson never repeat allowing students to take session after session, always creating something new and fresh.

The Policies and Requirements of ASH Fine Arts can be found at the bottom of this page, please review them in full prior to registration.

Requirements:

I ask all students do there best to exemplify respect and personal behavior management. If your young artists is working on this, has difficulty sitting for 60-mins or working on building their listening skills this may not be the right time for them to take group classes.

Prior to leaving class I require young students to be physically signed out on the roll sheet. If you wish to forgo signing out your student and prefer I release them to leave on their own then please select to “release without signature” when filling out their information sheet. I will not leave knowing a student has not been picked up, with or without a sign out.

Please always be sure your artist wares appropriate clothing to art class, something that is ok potentially getting stained. If this is a concern I suggest keeping a designated “art shirt” in the car they can put on before class.

Please email me at ashfinearts@gmail.com if you have questions or would like to make a special request.

Please review all the policies of ASH Fine Arts below. You will be asked to formally agree to these upon registration.

POLICIES:

*If you choose to take classes or work with me in any way you are automatically agreeing to these policies.

Please do your best arrive on time and/or be ready to begin at the start time of the class. Please send me a text if you are running late.

Students are to respect the teacher, materials, others, and most of all themselvs. A positive attitude is recommended.

Be patient, learning takes time and every student will progress at their own appropriate speed. Remember, it takes 10,000 hours to become a master at one skill.

I have the right to refuse service to anyone. Please know that I do not accept everyone as a student. Our personalities will need to be compatible and we must have a similar understanding of goals and expectations. Focus is a big factor for acceptance. If the student has trouble maintaining focus for 30- 60 mins, then perhaps, the time may not be right for them. Learning takes courage and drive.

If they’re are any physical or emotional issues, such as self-confidence, depression, ADD, OCD, or neurodiversity, that may hinder you or your student in realizing art goals please share them with me if you feel comfortable, it helps me teach each individual the best way they learn. Please also let me know if you or your student have any dangerous allergies so I can be sure to keep everyone safe.

Please note that on occasion art can make religious connections, and contain nudity. Please understand these topics are treated with respect and maturity in the fine art community and you/ your student will be asked to do the same.

If you choose to work with me you agree to all policies stated here, including making payments when required. You and or your student release Ashley Hale from any liability, including and not limited to, any pre or pro-existing conditions that may hinder or prevent you (or your child’s) physical or emotional, artistic abilities. Additionally, you and your student release Ashley Hale from any responsibility of physical or emotional injury or any damage of property that may occur.

All sales are final. If you let me know you need to cancel early enough I may be able to issue a refund of up to 80%, but this decision is at my discretion. Please email me at ashleyhaleart@gmail.com to discuss your options.
