Who we are
Roksolana Art School has been founded in 2003 in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The art school has been growing and developing, attracting an increasing number of students. The School's faculty is made up of professional artists - highly qualified teachers who have created a unique and inspiring atmosphere at the school. The school's curriculum is built on classical realism. At the same time, students try their talents in a more contemporary style and genre of painting. Painting, drawing, sculpture, mosaic, cartooning/animation and costume design are just some of the great variety of programs offered at the school. Students of Roksolana Art School are frequent participants and winners at international art competitions and exhibits.

Our vision
A common perception is that intensive art training is only for the gifted and talented few, rather then as perhaps an opportunity for learning that should be offered to all children from the earliest grades. We do not assume that only "talented" children can be taught to read, write, and figure, yet some call ability in the arts "talent," not intelligence, and assume that very few children possess this mysterious commodity. We believe that everyone can learn how to draw – and feel truly proud of the results.

What we offer
At Roksolana Art School we created a comprehensive art program designed to teach fundamental drawing and painting skills using direct observation and imagination. Shading, Composition, Shape, Proportion, Line, Perspective, 3D Form, Color Theory and Tones will all be explored through different drawing techniques and a variety of subjects. Our instructors who are also professional artists introduce students to many different mediums: pencil, oil and soft pastel, charcoal, pen and ink, watercolour, acrylic, mixed media. This program gives students essential art skills in order to help them to express themselves, experiment and develop a personal style.

Other benefits
The program shows students much more than how to paint or draw a picture. It helps stimulate the creative part of the child's mind, teach discipline, instill a sense of pride, accomplishment, and self-worth. It also improves academic achievement - enhancing test scores, attitudes, social skills, critical and creative thinking.
