The 8-week Foundations Course at The Art Club is designed for students with little to no prior experience who want to build both confidence and a strong base in essential artistic practices. Through guided instruction in drawing, anatomy, composition, color theory, and ideation, the course prepares learners to advance into higher level workshops with a solid grounding in the fundamentals. Emphasizing both theory and hands on practice, it encourages creative thinking while supporting technical growth, offering a clear pathway toward professional level study.

Upon completion, students receive a certificate that provides recognition of achievement and affirms their readiness to participate meaningfully in all of The Art Club’s workshops. For those considering admission to traditional colleges or universities, the certificate may also serve as a valuable pre-college credential, highlighting academic readiness and a recognition of strong foundational practices. Participation in the Foundations Course is optional and not required for enrollment in all other workshops and Lectures at The Art Club.
