What kind of Art Lessons Do You Teach?

At Inspyr Arts, students are regarded as fellow artists and the studio is considered their working space. There are no required formal lessons or guided step by step art projects at Inspyr Arts. Each session begins with an optional drawing exercise. Students are given full access to the studio, tools, and materials to pursue any medium or type of art that interests them.

They are given full autonomy over their creative pursuits and are not required to complete art projects or lessons that don’t interest them. Dylan provides individual guidance and instruction to students that are interested in a new art medium or who want to master a specific material or tool.

The Inspyr Arts studio is stocked with a wide range of tools and materials, and with everything necessary for drawing, painting (watercolor, oil, acrylic), illustration, sculpture, felt art, jewelry making, model making, cardboard craft, model magic, mask making, hand sewing, and more. New tools and materials are added on a regular basis (students can request any type of art or craft making tools and supplies to add to the studio).

Do you provide lessons in digital art?

No, Inspyr Arts is proudly non-digital, non-ai, and screen free.

Can I Attend class with my child and help them with their artwork?

No, parents are not permitted in the main studio space during class. The exception is for neurodiverse students that require a parent or aide.

Do you provide art therapy?

Unfortunately, I don’t have the licensing or credentials to provide art therapy. Art therapy can only be provided by a professional mental health specialist. I discourage any parents from bringing children to Inspyr Arts for the purpose of addressing mental health issues.

Can I get a refund for missed classes?

No, there are no refunds or payment adjustments for missed classes, holiday closures, or classes I have cancelled. Monthly tuition is for a seat at Inspyr Arts and not for student attendance.
