Houston School of Art & Design

Bilingual art school off Sam Houston Parkway

Houston School of Art & Design is a working drawing-and-painting school tucked behind the Sam Houston Parkway in west Houston. Instruction runs in English and Spanish, which is rarer than it should be for a city with Houston's demographics.

Art programs from age 4 through adults

Classes are age-grouped with rolling enrollment - no long-term contracts. Classes include:
- Kids drawing fundamentals (ages 4+)
- Watercolor and acrylic painting
- Oil painting for teens and adults
- Pastels, colored pencil, markers
- Digital art
- Summer camps and painting parties

What's Included

• All core materials provided in tuition
• Bilingual instruction (English/Spanish)
• Small group sizes
• Flexible drop-in style enrollment
• Finished pieces go home

Experience

Good fit for families who want structured technique without committing to a semester-long contract. The school also runs a second location in Cypress, but Houston families typically attend the Sam Houston Parkway studio.
