Our Visual Arts classes do not require any type of assessment or portfolio to get into the program. Instructors will work with your child at their level. Your child will improve and learn new skills whether they are a beginner or have been an artist for years.

• A refillable water bottle
• Comfortable clothes that can get messy
• Sturdy closed-toed shoes

A typical day begins with the explanation of the assignment and demonstration of techniques.
Then students start their own projects and an instructor works with them individually, assisting them when necessary. At the end of class there is a friendly discussion about what was done and some critique as well as a talk about what will be done the next day.

Igor Koutsenko was born in Evpatoria, a resort city on the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea. He was educated at the Penza School of Art and received rigorous training in the old traditions of realist art. Koutsenko immigrated to the United States in 1992, settling in Oklahoma City, where he taught fine art at the University of Central Oklahoma. He participated in a number of exhibits throughout the United States. In 1998 Koutsenko visited Southern California and was attracted by its beautiful scenery and climate. Since moving to California, he continues to produce original work at his private studio. Igor’s work is in the collections of the Riverside Art Museum, Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company, Institute for Specialized Medicine and the Hoffman Trust collection, as well as numerous distinguished private collections.
