General Info
The Artnook is nestled within the Odd Shop in Downtown Visalia. The studio is both the professional workshop of artist Stevi Daniels and classroom for up to seven students at a time. Stevi leads each 90-minute class, held weekly with breaks as indicated on the calendar.
Students of all levels, age 7 to adult, have freedom to choose their preferred genre, style, and content as well as materials. Stevi provides individualized instruction and guidance through new techniques, materials, and concepts as students progress.
Getting Started
​
Students must be age 7 or older to attend the Artnook. Parents enroll their children and adults can enroll themselves by filling out the enrollment form. On the form, check all times that fit your schedule. Stevi will contact you within a day or two to coordinate. Everyone must agree to the studio policy before attending. Here are some important highlights from the policy:
​
-
Late-notice cancellations and no-shows cannot be made up. Make-up lessons are allowed in the event of sickness or tragedy if Stevi is notified on the day of the absence, or for any reason as long as Stevi is notified 24 hours before the absence.
​
-
Commitment is month-to-month. If a student won't be attending next month, Stevi must be informed by the last lesson. Withdrawal from the very first class is permitted up to 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, there are penalty fees.
Tuition & Materials ​​
Fall & Spring Classes
Payment is due the 1st of each month. A late fee of $10 is added on the 8th. You may pay anyway mentioned here. All art supplies are included.
​
The number of weekly lessons varies with the calendar. For example, the Artnook is open 3 Mondays in August and 5 Mondays in September. Tuition follows the fixed schedule shown here and does not fluctuate.

In June and July, summer classes are flexible. You choose which classes to attend and pay as you go.
What We'll Learn
​
Each class begins with the Artist Circle, a brief group lesson exploring art history, careers, analysis, or engaging in art games.
After that, students work on thier individual projects which may involve:
​
-
2D art (drawing, painting, printmaking)
-
3D art (polymer clay, assemblage)
-
textiles (weaving, sewing, knitting, macramé)
-
digital (graphic design, animation).
The genre, style, and content of student art are ultimately determined by what interests each individual. Students will be appropriately challenged with new ideas and techniques as they progress. All students learn about:
​
-
art elements & principles
-
artistic techniques
-
proper use of materials
-
art history
-
developing creative concepts
-
how to analyze art
