Testimonials
Since my 6 year old son started attending your art class we have seen big improvement in his drawing abilities and focusing on task at hand. It also improved his handwriting and his understanding on image proportions and perspectives. Thankyou for sharing your skill with others.

Aarthy’s Art Center is Very relevant, appropriate to all levels, beginners to advanced. Very inspirational and knowledgeable teacher. Great opportunity to progress my kid’s talents. Personal and hospitable atmosphere. Small class, providing more personal attention and getting to know fellow students better. It is a long standing educational space that inspires all who walk through the door! If you want to be a better artist look no further than Aarthy’s ART!

Both my daughter and I have taken classes with Ms. Aarthy. I have thoroughly enjoyed my crochet classes and my daughter loved her art classes. We will definitely be taking more classes in the future.

It always makes me wonder how blessed you are with different media of art. Thank you for introducing me to the Tanjore painting form , which made my dream come true with simple techniques you have taught me. My 1st project was Ganesh and now I have started my 2nd project which I feel as Goddess blessings.
Thank you for all your support for making my dream project alive and making me part of your art family to cherish.

Hope you’re well. Which medium did you use for your paintings? They’re very beautiful. I especially love the black and white ones. Youve done a wonderful job of creating texture in your paintings.
Regarding the class, Rayah loves the class and has learned a lot. I like that she also knows the names of the stitches, so she would be able to follow patterns as well in the future. She has come a long way since she first started and I’m excited to see what other things she creates in the future.

CLASS SIGNUP
Unleash your creativity with our fun and relaxing Drawing & Crochet sessions. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to improve your skills, our classes are perfect for all levels.

Drawing & sketching
Nothing excites me more than teaching students how to draw and sketch. In this class, you will learn how to take a simple real life object and make it come alive on paper. As you advance from the beginners level to the advanced level, you will take on more difficult projects like sketching a landscape or a face.
I will teach you a variety of shading techniques you need to know, as well as ways to control your hand movements so that your piece turns out right. Drawing and sketching helps you enhance your creativity, improve your hand eye coordination and lift up your motor skills. If you want to become the next Leonardo da Vinci, this class is for you!
Crochet
Interested in making your own sweaters, neck warmers and scarves? This class is for you! Crocheting is a unique art form that helps improve your motor skills, as it requires precision and attention to detail. It can help you master problem solving, hand eye coordination, focus and repetition.
In my class, you will learn a variety of crochet stitches that you can use to make anything – from handbags to fashionable tops to gloves for the winter. The class is also a way to relax after a stressful day, serving as a type of mind meditation. Join now! Seats are limited!
