Gage Academy of Art is a gift. The instructors are highly capable teachers and artists, offering an opportunity for students to learn more in a few classes, than may be possible in an arts degree from larger schools. Gage's strength lies in providing classes solid in foundational skills for drawing, painting and sculpture. I highly recommend any class taught by Mitch Albala. HIs Landscape painting course was stellar. 5-stars. Gage's youth program is also an incredible opportunity for teens (and kids) to learn solid skills and gain confidence. My teen is thrilled with the classes she's taken (4 so far), feels supported by the instructors and empowered by engaging in a class that gives her a skill set of understanding and focus. She said "If I could learn this much at High School, I'd LOVE to get up in the morning!" (no small feat). My only regret in regards to Gage, is that it wasn't around when I was a teen, it would've saved me years of 'learning the hard way'. So for Fun, or for professional development - don't hesitate - take a class, or two...
