About Monart Drawing Studio in Arlington Heights, IL
At Monart Drawing Studio, we offer classes for students ranging from 4-1/2 years old to adults. With the Monart Drawing Method, developed by Mona Brookes, students are given a supportive, nurturing, and educational environment to develop their artistic skills. The philosophy behind this method is that there are no mistakes in art and that everyone is capable of learning to draw. We believe that anyone can become an artist by learning the necessary skills and techniques. Just like a musician learns notes and scales in order to play instruments, Monart students learn the skills to express their perceptions onto paper. The Monart Drawing Method removes any mystery or fear that could keep someone from drawing, and allows them to tap into their inner artist.

About Getting Ready 4-1/2 - 6 year olds
Getting Ready Drawing is an introduction to representational drawing directed to the attention span and motor coordination of the 4-1/2 to 6 year olds. The students are guided through a step-by-step lesson of an object, animal, or character. The class draws each element of shape as the teacher describes them. They are asked to identify each element of shape before they begin drawing. The instruction also includes guidance about length, placement, distance between elements, and how the shapes interact with each other. Children master the ability to recognize the 5 Basic Elements of Shape and combine them to create drawings.

About Basic 7 - adults
As the student matures in their abilities, they can move up to Basic Drawing classes. Here the students move through the instructions as in the Getting Ready class, but there are added details, requiring more dexterity and thinking skills. When a child is able to draw independently, a test drawing is done to show their level of ability. It is then that they may move up to Intermediate classes.
