Classes for Young Artists

Color Wheel Art Classes

The Color Wheel mission is to encourage the growth and development of creative free thinking individuals. To this end, we provide safe, quality art based programs aimed at nurturing the whole child. Through the arts, we promote self discovery and the development of high self esteem.

Color Wheel Art Classes are offered for artists ages 8 – 18. The program is divided into three semesters during the months of August-May. Classes are held from 4:00 – 5:30 with an extra hour of “Open Studio” both before and after class for free art, games and homework. The class calendar runs concurrent with the calendar of the City Schools of Decatur.

We offer a safe, elevated, and unique art education experience. Each of our instructors is a degreed artist as well as a child care professional. Each staff member brings to Color Wheel a love for working with children, unique artistic talent, and a solid background in the childcare industry.

Program Tuition

Full year tuition is based on our school year calendar of 180 days / 10 months. It is calculated based on the total number of class days annually (180) divided amongst the ten months of attendance resulting in the same tuition amount due each month regardless of the number of days in that month. Registering for a full year of classes allows you to receive a 10% discount for the year.
