Painting Classes
Our painting classes focus on building strong observation, confident technique, and personal expression across a range of media. Students explore color, value, composition, and brushwork while working from still life, reference material, and direct observation. Classes are welcoming to beginners and supportive of experienced painters looking to refine their skills in a professional studio environment.
Drawing Classes
Drawing classes at Fallsview Arts emphasize the essential foundations that support all visual art. Through guided exercises and longer-form studies, students develop skills in line, proportion, value, and spatial understanding. Offerings range from beginner-friendly courses to figure drawing and portrait-based sessions for artists seeking deeper observational practice.
Sculpture Classes
Our sculpture classes introduce artists to three-dimensional thinking through hands-on work in clay and mixed media. Students learn to build form, structure, and volume while developing a strong sense of anatomy, balance, and spatial design. Classes are suitable for newcomers to sculpture as well as artists expanding their practice beyond two dimensions.
Art Workshops
Art Workshops are one-day and multi-day intensives led by visiting and guest teaching artists at Fallsview Arts. These special sessions zoom in on a focused skill or subject—like portrait painting, figure work, or technique-based studies—while still welcoming a range of experience levels. Expect demos, guided practice, and personal feedback in a small-group studio setting.
