Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose Purple Brush Art for my child, or myself?
At Purple Brush Art, we focus on nurturing creativity through structured yet engaging lesson plans tailored to different age groups. Our experienced instructors bring a unique blend of professional art expertise and educational experience, ensuring each class is both fun and impactful. We also emphasize the cognitive development benefits of art, making our programs not just about creating art but also about fostering growth and learning. Plus, our personalized approach allows us to cater to each student’s needs, whether through our regular classes, special workshops, or private sessions.
Can I try a class before committing?
Yes! If the class you’re interested in doesn’t offer a free trial, you can still register worry-free. Just let us know if you decide not to continue after the first session, and we’ll fully reimburse you.
Can I find a time for both of my kids to attend classes together?
Absolutely! We offer a few class slots where different age groups can attend at the same time, making drop-offs and pick-ups easier for you. We’re happy to help you find the perfect classes that fit both of your kids' schedules. Just email us, and we'll assist you in finding the right match! Also, enjoy our sibling discount at checkout!
What is the capacity of your classes?
At Purple Brush Art, we believe that every child must receive individualized attention and lessons from our experienced art teacher. Therefore, we make sure we keep our class capacity as low as possible. Our average classes have 4-5 students. Some classes in more popular times/days may go up to 8 students. But we put a cap to ensure the lowest class/teacher ratio in the market.
Do you have private classes?
Absolutely! We offer private classes tailored to your schedule. Just let us know your preferred days and times, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Private Class Tuition:
- 1 participant: 300% of regular tuition
- 2 participants: 100% extra tuition per person
- 3-4 participants: 50% extra tuition per person
- 5-7 participants: 25% extra tuition per person
- 8+ participants: No extra tuition
Feel free to reach out to us to arrange your private class!
What types of discipline do you use? (Do you do time-outs?)
At Purple Brush Art, we find that children are usually very engaged during our classes, so discipline is rarely needed. If a child becomes distracted, we gently remind them that it’s a painting class and encourage them to refocus on their artwork. Our instructors, with years of experience in teaching art to children, is highly skilled at keeping kids engaged and excited about their projects. We do not use time-outs.
What is the structure of the day’s activities?
Our sessions are designed to be both engaging and relaxing. We start with warm-up activities to get the creative juices flowing, followed by hands-on art projects where kids can dive into their creativity. We wrap up with a calming cool-down. Throughout the class, kids remain seated, focusing on their art, rather than moving around as they might in a childcare setting.
What should we bring to the class?
You don’t need to bring anything! We provide all the necessary art supplies for the class. Just bring your creativity and excitement!
Can I register after the semester starts?
Yes! We offer prorated registration, which means you only pay for the remaining classes in the semester. For example, if you join halfway through, you’ll only be charged for the classes from that point forward, rather than the full semester fee.
What if I need to cancel after paying?
No worries! We offer free cancellations before the first class. If you change your mind, just let us know, and we’ll refund you in full.
What if I miss a class or need to change my schedule?
No worries! If you miss a class or need to change your schedule, you can attend a similar class later in the same week to make it up.
What if I want to keep going after the semester ends?
Absolutely, and we definitely recommend it! Our curriculum is designed for ongoing learning. Just register for the new semester to continue. Stay tuned to our website for the upcoming schedule and registration details.
What are the dates for after-school semesters?
Each of our weekly after-school semester includes 9-10 sessions. Here’s the schedule for 2024-2025:
- Fall Semester: Aug 25 - Oct 26
- Early Winter Semester: Oct 27 - Jan 18

Do you offer any discounts
Yes! We offer discounts for registering siblings or enrolling in multiple classes. These discounts are automatically applied at checkout. Additionally, keep an eye on our website for occasional special offers and promotions!
Do you offer drop-in classes?
Yes, we offer drop-ins for adult classes, parent-and-kid sessions, and workshops. However, we do not offer drop-ins for kids' weekly classes because these are based on a structured lesson plan that progresses each week.
