Artistic Approach Studio (Janet Harpley-Aco)

About Us

With our combined 15+ years of experience and education in Fine Arts, and Early Childhood Education we are excited to welcome you to our studio! Our doors are open to everyone, and we encourage coming in to have a look around.

We offer after school art classes to all ages, as well as other events - including but not limited to, paint nights, mommy-and-me classes, birthday parties, and special holiday events.

Our studio atmosphere and teaching direction is focused towards enhancing the creative process of fine and practical arts. Our lesson style incorporates theory and hands-on learning about - styles, materials, light, shadow, colour, perspective, contrast, and more in a fun and engaging way. Through varied and fun content and subjects, we explore the use of watercolour, sketching, painting, pastels, drawing, charcoal, crafts, mixed media, and sculpture.. just to name a few!

We are inclusive of all peoples, with a safe place, and encourage all of our students to express themselves in their own unique way. We operate in small groups, so more attention is given to each student.
