This year I took classes at SAS with artist Craig Pursley, and feel I significantly improved my oil-painting skills in both landscape and portrait. The lessons were detailed and supportive, with Mr Pursley's beautiful demos providing inspiration at the beginning of class. The school creates just the right atmosphere with its historic SW architecture and the impressive student art handsomely displayed throughout. I will definitely take classes here in the future, both with Mr Pursley again, and with any of the many other impressive artists available. A world class facility!!!
My granddaughter took a class during the summer and she just loved it! Highly recommend and we will sign up for more activities At the end of the day class the "art exhibit" was a lot of fun.
I have invested in two 'Adult Local Program' training classes. I am very pleased with the knowledge and wisdom I have gained as a result. The Scottsdale Artists School's reputation is legendary and I am glad I live within driving distance.
Wide variety of offerings with visiting artists help with artists further develop and tune their talents. Studios were good at spacing and COVID safety rules.
There is no other place like SAS in Arizona. Professional artists come from all over the country to teach here in their various medias...painting, drawing, sculpting... SAS has it all for youth, teens and adults of all ages and levels of experience... the artists are kind and share their experience no matter what level you are.
