Portfolio
Students will learn realistic drawing. They’ll also increase their drawing accuracy, create art inspired by old master artists, learn how to shade, create drawings that pop, and discover drawing techniques. They will also learn how to add their own creative flair to their art. The end result will be a beautiful and realistic drawing each week.

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 mindset to succeed.

We go beyond teaching art: our mission is to equip children with a frame of mind that will help them succeed in all areas of life. Patience, persistence, peacefulness. Character, confidence, and 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 artistic prowess.

Review for Becca:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Becca was amazing. My son learned a great way to measure proportions and closely render what the photo references were. That's the hardest part for kids. Thank you Becca.  - Ed C.


🎨 Meg Navarro. Over the past decade, Meg has taught thousands of students to create dazzling, realistic art, to take impressive photos, and to write their first novels. In 2007, Meg founded Megapixels School of the Arts, which began as a local art school and expanded to offer online classes a few years back. Meg personally trains each teacher in the Megapixels Method, which she has tested and refined over the past decade. Meg studied art, photography, and writing while earning her BA, and is currently working on her Masters in Education. In her free time, she loves making human pyramids with her friends!
