Classes | Funky Artsmiths

Funky Artsmiths offers a wide range of learning opportunities for our young students interested in starting an art education and developing talents. Our mission is to support the visual arts education for future artists in Saskatoon.

Students learn proper technique based skills for drawing, painting, and many other media! We use age appropriate materials to develop skills in visual art.

Classes are offered for students from grade one to twelve with no discrimination towards artistic skills. We have students coming in from as far away as Watrous, Dinsmore, Hepburn and Langham.

Each class is geared toward specific skills and techniques that should be learned at each age, and are therefore offered as single grade or a two grade split class.

In all classes each student is provided with a sketchbook. Students are encouraged to use this artists book as a workbook, planning artworks, making notes and including inspiration.

Classes generally begin the third week of September and run for 22 weeks. There is a break over Christmas and the February week.

Classes are grouped by age/grade and there is often an overlap for instance: a Grade 2-3 class and then another night may offer a Grade 3-4 class.

Spring classes are shorter in length, typically eight weeks. Classes begin toward the end of May and registration will open in February.

Lessons are developed with the interest and abilities of the students. We look at art history, illustrators, the natural world and everyday things we might encounter.

Artwork created over the twenty two weeks of classes stays at the studio in a portfolio so that artworks are in pristine condition for the art show. All artwork is photographed and is added to our Artsonia online gallery.
