Each instructor at Megapixels School of the Arts is a master of their craft and is certified to teach the Megapixels Method. This method of instruction trains students to be able to draw realistically while having the freedom to go wild with creativity and the mindsets to succeed.
We go beyond teaching art: our mission is to equip children with mindsets that will help them succeed in all areas of life. Patience, persistence, peacefulness. Character, confidence, creativity. Cultivating these qualities in your child through a fun art experience is our passion.
We are on a mission to empower kids to become lifelong learners, who are confident in their creativity so they can overcome any obstacle, achieve their biggest dreams, and change the world.
We encourage students to not get caught up in perfectionism but rather to enjoy the process, which further unleashes creativity.
