Programs that Spark the Creative Spirit

Art Programs

Inspired by the philosophies of renowned animator Chuck Jones, the Center’s diverse array of programs blend passion with practicality to engage and encourage individuals of all ages, from all walks of life, to embrace the creative genius inside each of them — and then leverage that genius to unleash artistic expression, personal growth and innovative problem-solving. Although the Center primarily uses the arts to provide creative opportunities for our participants, creative thinking can be inspired and utilized in any discipline. Therefore, we offer programs based around science, animation and basic problem solving that encourage participants to think differently.

PRIVATE ART LESSONS

Interested in getting more involved with fine art? We offer private or semi-private art instruction for children and teens with our supportive teaching artists serving Orange County (California) and surrounding communities.

Our lessons are for beginning, intermediate, and advanced artists. Students will be guided through the artistic process for the medium and method of their choice. Artists are welcome to work on their own work-in-process, or may begin a new masterpiece.

We are able to tailor your lessons to the subject matter of interest and to match each student with the best teaching artist for their needs. Lessons are offered in drawing, painting, cartooning, and so much more.

We also offer Orange County School of the Arts portfolio preparation for application submissions.

Please call 949-397-7836 or email info@chuckjonescenter.org so we can learn your child’s interests, share more detailed information on the process and determine availability of a teacher likely to be the best fit for your situation.

GIRL SCOUT BADGE WORKSHOPS

The Center teaches the techniques, offers the encouragement and provides the materials needed to earn Girl Scout badges related to visual arts and creative expression. Each program includes technique and content based on the specific badge requirements. All materials and badges are provided. PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED AND SPACE IS LIMITED.

CUSTOM CREATIVITY PROGRAMS

We celebrate uniqueness — with the knowledge that every person, every organization, every company has its own distinctive personality, preferences and potential. So, we handcraft programs designed to fit those individual needs, while fueling and accelerating creative exploration.
