We Offer Children's Art Classes for First Grade through Grade 8.  High School Students Can Take Any Our Classes For Adult & High School Students
Throughout over 40 years as one of Utah's leading art educators, Harold Petersen has taught thousands of young artists with many going on to successful careers in the arts.  Even more have gone onto successful lives that include art as part of well rounded and successful lifestyles.  Over the past years Pete, has worked steadily to organize and record his program of concepts and skills. This program is now available for students at the Petersen Art Center starting as early as the first grade.  It teaches the same artistic concepts that are taught to older students but it teaches those principles in a manner that matches the age of the student.  This curriculum is currently available for grades 1 through 3, grades 4 through 6, and grades 7 and 8.  Classes are taught once a week for two hours on a year around basis to ensure continuity for the students.  High School students are taught in our adult classes (400 series class numbers).
