“What Cordovan Stands For

We at Cordovan Art School see the happiness every day that comes from creative people doing what they were born to do.   Everyone who enters our doors will be greeted with a smile, and we hope that they leave with a smile when their class is over–that is our “smile-smile” policy.  We try to create an environment that is positive, uplifting, and enjoyable so that our students can relax while they paint, draw, and learn the fundamentals of art and design.  And, along the way, we hope that our students and our teachers gain a deeper appreciation for the arts and each other.

Only the very best teachers work at Cordovan.  Over the years, our students have been amazed at what they have accomplished after learning and practicing the fundamental principles and time-tested techniques.

We believe that there is no shortcut to success.  Growth and personal satisfaction come when put our time and talents to work—by learning, doing, and then repeating the process over and over again.  The students are proud of themselves, and we are too!”
