ART + Academy Information

Founded in 2009 by Austin artist Monica Araoz, ART plus Academy is dedicated to improving students drawing and painting skills. We offer fine art classes and art summer camps for children as young as four years old, teens and adults. In Art Plus Academy, we believe drawing and painting are two important skills which support the creative and innovative thought process. Helping art students to learn how to "see" beyond the obvious, appreciate subtle differences in shade or color and dare to experiment are just a few examples of our passions. We provide instruction in dry media like pencil, charcoal, soft-pastel and oil pastel, as well as in watercolor, acrylic, ink and water base oils.
