Art Talent Test Prep

 Yes, we are preparing for Mark Twain/Bay Academy Art Talent test!

Combination of Live and Online Courses 

It is time to start preparing!

With our years of experience in tests preparation, we know for sure: the competition rate is rising each year, and high level of skills and knowledge is required, which cannot be gained “overnight”, or even within a month. The earlier you will start preparing your child for the test, the more confident and self-assured your child will be. High stress and timeframes during the test could play a crucial effect on test performance. It takes time to build those skills.

We will be keeping you posted about upcoming information about tests.

Our Course included :

• FREE Pre-assessment test
• Virtual and live tours to museums
• Art history for essay readiness

We are teaching how to draw an imaginary scene using colored pencils, drawing interactive figures with interior or exterior backgrounds using perspective, texture and representing a given theme. We are educating students on art history through live discussions, presentations and trips to museums to get a taste of art throughout the centuries.
