FAQ

  • What if I want an Art Class that focuses on a single medium?
    Students learn at their own pace and are free to explore as many mediums, art movements, techniques and applications as they wish. We start everyone out with drawing skills to evaluate natural skill level. Once the initial drawing project is completed, we ask students to advance into a simple watercolor class to evaluate their painting skills. From there, the whole world of art opens up. If the student prefers to focus their attention on a specific medium, technique or application they are encouraged to do so for as long as they desire; however, we do encourage students to explore in order to find their perfect niche.
  • Are classes made up of specific age groups?
    Each class is made up of multiple age groups which may include youth and adults. We are cautious; however, when building our classroom student body, adults are placed with more mature youth and teens while our younger students are placed in an age appropriate class with similar maturity levels. This allows adults to attend a class that fits into their work schedule. It also allows our younger students to feel more comfortable in a group of their peers.
  • When is my monthly tuition Due?
    A subscription plan is necessary for the in-person classes and should be set for payment by the 28th of the month prior to the beginning of each month's classes. The Virtual Classes also require payment by the 28th of the month prior to the beginning of each month's classes. Payment may be made by Paypal or Zelle. There is a very small grace period; payment ultimately must be received before midnight the last day of the month prior to the beginning of the month's classes. If payment is not received by midnight the last day of the month, there will be a $35 late fee assessed. Student will not be admitted to class until both tuition and late fee are paid in full. Student will also run the risk of losing their seat in class if tuition is not paid on time.
  • Is there a free trial class available for new students?
    No. We apologize, but we are unable to offer free trial classes.
  • Are their future plans to reopen Aurora Images Art & Photography studio as a permanent storefront location?
    Due to Covid-19 in 2020, the Aurora Images Studio storefront location was closed and went to a virtual format. Good News! Beginning February 1, 2022, we will finally be able to resume in person classes in our new studio location at 105 W. Boyd Street, Allen, TX 75013. These classes will be held Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 5:30-7:30pm For the time being, we will continue to have one virtual class per week on Mondays 5:00-7:00pm.
  • How does Aurora Images Art & Photography handle absences or missed classes?
    Classes are based on a monthly tuition not a per diem. There is no refund or credit for missed classes in any given month; virtual or in-person. There is no proration of fees for any pre planned absence. There is no proration or refund for any nationally recognized holiday. If a student must miss a class, consideration for a make-up session will be given at the discretion of the instructor. Consideration will be given only providing there is space in another class permitting the make-up session and can only be offered during the month the class being made up was missed. If Aurora Images Art & Photography must cancel a class, a make-up class will be offered to students affected by the cancellation.
  • What if I need to take a 30 day extended absence from class; will I lose my seat in class?
    If a student needs to take a 30 day extended absence from class and wants to hold their seat until they return, they can hold their spot in class by paying a holding fee. The holding fee is 50% of the regular monthly tuition and is due and payable by the 28th of the month prior to their absence. This fee does not apply to any tuition, present or future. Subscriptions must be managed accordingly. If the student does not return at the end of the 30 days, the holdling fee is non-refundable and the student will forfeit their seat in class.
