Private Art Lessons
Private Art lessons consist of a total of 6 hours of private instruction per course session spread throughout four 1.5 hour sessions. Enjoy one-on-one instruction with our award winning art instructor in our newly renovated art room. These lessons are geared for the beginner or for those with minimal experience. Relax and work stress free at your own pace. Choose from one of the following sessions: Learn to Draw, Beginning Acrylic Painting, Introduction to Watercolor, Abstract Acrylic Painting, and Easy Portrait Drawing. Canvases are required for the Beginning Acrylic Painting & Abstract Acrylic Painting sessions. Canvases can be purchased at the Oak View front desk during operating hours, or students can bring their own to their lessons. Sessions are individually arranged with the instructor. Participants that are interested in these private art lessons must fill out a request form at the Oak View Center. Our art instructor will contact you and set-up a schedule for your lessons after the request is received. If you have any questions or would like more information about our new private art lessons, please contact the Oak View Center at 708-857- 2200. All materials will be provided, except for canvases.
