August 12, 2026- Posted by Richmond Hill Editor in News
Fall 2026 registration is now open at Art One Academy Richmond Hill!
Our 19-week Fall Term runs from September 2026 through the end of January 2027, with weekly art classes for children and teens from ages 4 through high school.
From a child’s first art class to advanced teen and portfolio development, our programs are designed to help students build strong art skills, explore their creativity and grow with confidence.
Art Classes for Every Stage
Every young artist develops differently. Our programs are organized by age and skill level so students can build on what they learn as they progress.
Art Combo 1 | Ages 4–6
A fun and encouraging introduction to art for young children. Students explore drawing, painting, mixed media and 3D art while developing creativity, fine motor skills and confidence.
Art Combo 2 | Ages 7–9
Students begin building stronger art foundations through more developed projects in drawing, painting, colour, mixed media and sculpture. Lessons balance skill-building with plenty of room for individual creativity.
Art Combo 3 | Ages 10–12
For growing artists ready for more challenging projects. Students strengthen their skills in drawing, painting, composition, colour and 3D art while becoming more independent in their creative choices.
Teen Art Classes | Ages 13+
A more advanced studio experience for teens who enjoy art and want to continue developing their skills. Students explore more sophisticated techniques and concepts while working toward a stronger individual artistic style.
Portfolio Preparation
Individualized instruction for students preparing for high school arts programs, post-secondary art and design programs, and other portfolio-based opportunities. Students strengthen technical skills while developing original work that reflects their abilities and creative interests.
Character Design | Ages 7+
For students who love characters, comics, animation and imaginative worlds. Students learn about character development, anatomy, expressions, poses, costumes and visual storytelling while developing their own original characters.
