Youth Classes

About the Bein Gallery Art School

Weekly classes are available to students of all ages during the school year via sixteen week fall and spring sessions. Students may start classes at any point during the session with tuition prorated. Classes are currently offered in two locations, Roanoke and Southlake.

Classes introduce students of all ages to different art media and techniques. Students are placed in classes based on age and ability. All students refine their visual perception, confidence, listening skills, problem solving abilities, and increase their self esteem at the Bein Gallery Art School. Students are encouraged to participate in the art shows scheduled at the end of the fall and spring sessions.

Young students develop fine motor skills and explore their creativity through age appropriate drawing, painting, clay, construction, paper mache, play dough and a wide variety of fun activities. Famous artists, art history, and color theory are introduced at various levels.

Older students learn the fundamentals of design and composition. They study line, value, color, shape, size, and direction. The principles used are unity, conflict, dominance, repetition, alternation, balance, harmony, and gradation. We encourage exploration of charcoal, pastels (chalk, oil, and water soluble oil) watercolor, acrylics, watercolor pencils, sculpture, and more.

Summer classes and camps are offered via three day camps, two or four hours per day based on student age. Camps are offered eight weeks during the summer. All camps include a variety of activities. Older students, 7th grade thru adult, are offered 2 hour classes weekly during the summer vacation.

Special holiday classes are offered during school vacations.

Art Birthday parties are available at the Bein Gallery in Roanoke, Texas.

Birthday Parties

Each party is specifically designed for your child. A typical two hour party allows for one hour of an art activity. The activity can be selected from the below but can be something altogether different. The second hour includes time for cake, ice cream and presents as well as a game of pictionary.

We are flexible and will work with you to create the party you and your child want. Customized theme parties are also available and quoted individually. Examples of themed parties would be an American Girl quilting bee or barn raising, Holiday themes Easter, Halloween, Snowman, or Decorating Gingerbread houses.

The two hour party includes the birthday balloons and streamers, empty white paper goodie bags(for the children to decorate while waiting for the party to begin), art supplies, plates, cups, forks, spoons, and candles for $15/per child. You need to provide the cake, ice cream, or any food that you want, beverage, and apparel, if you are painting t-shirts.
Party minimum is 6 children and maximum is 12.
