The visual arts play a vital role in the development and learning of children from preschool all the way through high school. Monart School of Art is committed to providing the highest quality art education for students of all ages and backgrounds. We believe that the arts enhance children’s appreciation and understanding of the world around them. Monart School of Art uses a patented drawing method developed by art educator Mona Brookes. The Monart Method has been used in the classroom for almost 40 years. Because of our patented, step-by-step method, all students have a successful art experience. Field trips to the Monart School of Art give students the ability to collaborate and think creatively to express their ideas through drawing, painting, sculpture and collage. Field trips are great for children enrolled in Pre-K through high school. Monart instructors are all former classroom teachers and bring a wealth of classroom management skills and creative lesson plan ideas to the workshop. Our teachers have thousands of hours of classroom time and are very comfortable teaching any age and size of class. We have over 5,000 lesson plans to choose from and can tailor a workshop to your group’s tastes or theme.
Past Workshop Themes: Under the Sea, Jungle, Cartoons, Mascots, Mixed Media, Famous Artists, Summer Fun and Sculpture, just to name a few.

Many times students will not have enough time to complete the coloring of the art. If this is the case with your workshop, students will use a common media such as markers or crayon to start coloring and the drawing can then be completed at your facility.
