We at Watts Atelier believe that building a strong foundation of skills is the most important endeavor for any art student. We believe the path to prosperity in any field is paved with superior knowledge, a strong work ethic, and a clear focus of purpose. Much like an athlete or musician, the visual artist must continue to build up and maintain his or her skills through diligent practice of the fundamental concepts of art. Watts Atelier brings together students of all ages and levels of traditional art skill, from professional working artist to novice, in an environment of visual learning that is highly structured with a low student-to-teacher ratio. One of the most unique features of Watts Atelier is the number of classes run with dual teachers. Because our teachers are groomed from within our Atelier, we are able to offer this unique approach. This includes two instructor demonstrations at the same time in drawing classes and twice the attention per student in the specialty classes.
