The Painting School

Since 2017, The Painting School has been dedicated to providing art opportunities to fun people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds who are serious about making great art.

The Painting School is located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn in a sunny, two-story studio where getting messy is encouraged and community is built. The school uses art history and contemporary art to teach students of all ages what makes a great work of art.

  • Painting
  • Drawing
  • Illustration
  • Clay sculpture
  • Readymade sculpture
  • Collage
  • Stop motion.

In classes, teachers and students play music, have fun, share ideas and compliments, and work hard to make great work. Teachers are supportive, fun, and inclusive.

  • After-school art classes for kids, from kindergarten to high school
  • Weekly painting classes for adults
