Visual Arts Classes and Workshops in Castle Rock

Visual Arts at Tri Arts Project is the home base for creative exploration in Castle Rock. These classes bring together painting, drawing, crafts, textiles, and photography. The program is designed for beginners, returning artists, teens, and adults who want to learn new skills and stay creatively engaged.

Skill Building and Creative Play

Across the Visual Arts categories, students can:

  • Explore color, line, texture, and composition fundamentals
  • Work with materials such as acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, glass, fabric, and paper
  • Choose between structured classes and expressive workshops
  • Learn at a pace that fits their experience and comfort level

Pathways Through the Arts

Students often move between different visual arts areas as they grow. A learner might begin with a single evening workshop, then continue into the following focused areas:

  • Painting for color and brushwork techniques
  • Drawing for strong foundational skills and observation
  • 3D Art for glass, mosaics, sculpture, and object-based work
  • Crafts for accessible hands-on and decorative projects
  • Textile & Fiber Art for sewing, quilting, and macrame skills
  • Photography & Film for digital imaging and studio techniques
  • Art Theory for historical context and creative concepts

Visual Arts classes help Castle Rock residents find an art form that fits them and connect with others in their local community.
