Art Foundations
In order to serve a wide range of artists, the School of the Figge differentiates courses by the categories of Novice, Apprentice and Master. We have provided descriptions to easily allow you to select the level in which you feel most comfortable. Classes are designed for students 16 years and older.
Novice Courses
Novice level courses introduce or reintroduce students to an art environment and allow the students to feel comfortable creating art. These classes will give students the foundational tools for future classes.

Apprentice Courses
Apprentice students have already been introduced to the basics of art. These courses either give students further insight into basic practices they have mastered or challenge the students to a higher level of art production. The courses feature higher level concepts and are more challenging than the Novice classes.
