University School of Nashville: Little Art House - Drawing & Painting

Little Art House's Drawing & Painting program at University School of Nashville gives tweens a focused afternoon to develop real skills across multiple mediums. Instructors guide students through pencil and charcoal drawing techniques before moving into watercolor and acrylic painting, so kids come away with a genuine range of experience rather than just dabbling in one area. The camp is held on the USN campus at 2000 Edgehill Ave, a central Nashville location that's easy to reach from most parts of the city. This is a good fit for ages 10–13 who already have some artistic curiosity and want more than a casual craft session — the structured instruction suggests an environment geared toward skill-building rather than just experimentation. Sessions run in the afternoon, 12:30 to 4:00 pm, throughout June, making it a natural pairing with a morning activity or a standalone option for kids with flexible schedules. At $275 for the session, it's a reasonable value for the level of instruction provided. Two sessions are available, and one still has open spots. Families also explore University School of Nashville: Ceramics, COMICS, and Fun with ART for similar visual arts options on the same campus.
