Art Classes and Lessons for Grades 2–7
Grades 2–4
With our younger students, we focus on the fundamentals of drawing and color. Students get hands-on experience with colored pencils, watercolors and gouache, and are guided to blend arts and crafts into their projects. These early skills stay with them throughout their time at Lebeor and in their other artistic pursuits.
Grades 5–7
Older students explore new themes and techniques, including acrylics, pastels, and pen and ink. Many begin to develop a deeper enjoyment of art, and for students who want to apply to arts-focused middle and high schools, we offer preparation for the art admissions tests and portfolio reviews.
Classes Matched to Each Student
Every student is taught from where they are. Our teachers look closely at each child’s skill and talent and build lessons that challenge them to grow, whether they are just starting out or preparing a portfolio.
Test Preparation for Middle & High School
Our test prep program helps students get ready for art-focused middle and high schools, covering still life drawing, composition and essay writing. Our students have been accepted to schools like Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art, Murrow High School of Art and Design and Frank Sinatra High School. You can see our list of acceptances over the years here.
A Track Record of Success
We have many students at Lebeor who simply want to learn about art, make friends, and find a creative outlet that will be with them for the rest of their lives.
We also have many motivated young artists who want to attend art-focused high schools, gain admission into a competitive university art program, or even pursue art professionally. Our students are often accepted into Art & Design, Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, Murrow, Mark Twain Middle School, and even post-secondary institutions like Parson School of Design, Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), School of Visual Arts (SVA), and PRATT Institute.
