Art School 99 (86 Joy Street, Studio 37, Somerville) provides a nurturing environment where children can learn technical skills while exploring their own creative vision. • Offers after-school drawing and painting classes specifically designed for ages 8–12. • The curriculum covers foundational concepts such as composition, perspective, and shading. • Classes are kept small to ensure individual attention from internationally acclaimed artist & instructor Alexandra Rozenman.

Art materials are included for all the beginners at the Open Studios but are not exactly included for Drawings, and watercolors classes. Each student is still asked to purchase his own sketchbook to use frequently and some basic art materials for it! Incase, you do not have art material and are attending a few classes you can get them at Art School 99 for a nominal payment.

At Art School 99, we believe abstract art is a gateway to the subconscious, and we offer dedicated workshops in Somerville to help you explore this freedom. Our programs are designed to move beyond traditional representation and dive into the emotional power of color and form. • Intensive Abstract Workshops: These sessions are inspired by the techniques of pioneers like Vassily Kandinsky. We treat paint as "music," focusing on thickness, value, and spontaneity to help you create freely. • Expert Instruction: Workshops are led by professional artist Alexandra Rozenman, who provides a "salon-style" atmosphere where technical skills meet creative self-discovery. • Diverse Mediums: You'll have the opportunity to experiment with oil pastels, acrylics, and canvases, all of which are provided by the studio so you can focus entirely on your process. • The "Can I Paint Like That?" Series: For those who want to bridge the gap between realism and abstraction, this class uses art history and modern references to help students develop their own unique visual language.

Yes, among others, Art School 99 Somerville is popular among residents of Boston, Arlington, Cambridge etc. Individual painting and drawing development is facilitated through one-on-one discussions with the instructor and group critiques. Come to explore, develop, or push your artistic talent further, whether you are a beginner or an advanced student. There are two Open Studio Art classes available right now. One is specifically for Adults and Teens and there is our regular open studio that accepts all.
