Tuition is billed monthly, due the first class of each month, and is set by class length:

  • The studio's September 2026 fee chart prices five lengths for the children's ladder: 1 hour $131/month, 1.5 hours $159, 2 hours $199, 3 hours $275 and 3.5 hours $299.
  • Adult classes are priced separately and flat: the adult page lists $139/month for a 3-hour class and $139 for a 1.5-hour class alike, which it frames as "$12 per hour". Class length does not change the adult rate.
  • An annual $150 supply fee is added to the first payment, which is why the in-person class sheets show $281, $309 and $349. It is waived if you pay annually.
  • Paying further ahead costs less: quarterly takes 2% off, semi-annual 5%; paying by cash takes a further 3% off, or 2% by check. Siblings get 5%, and a referral earns one free class.
  • Birthday art parties are $35 per guest (minimum 8) with a $50 non-refundable deposit.
  • Summer camp rates aren't published — ask the studio. One-off workshops are priced on the News & Events page.

Class days & times

What's offered

Curriculum-based classes meet once a week, in person or online, and the studio publishes a weekly grid for each class length. - One-hour classes (Levels 1–3) run Thursday at 5–6 and 6–7 pm, Friday at 4:30–5:30 and 7–8 pm, and Sunday at 12–1 and 1–2 pm. - The 1.5-hour classes (Levels 1–3 and Advance) run Thursday 7–8:30 pm, Friday 5:30–7 pm and Sunday 2–3:30 pm. - The two-hour classes run Thursday 5–7 pm, Friday 6–8 pm and Sunday 12–2 pm, though the Friday two-hour slot is on the class sheet but not among the registration form's options, so confirm it. - By level, Level 1 covers Drawing & Watercolor and Level 2 Pencil Shading and Prisma 2D/3D; Level 3 is Acrylic & Charcoal/Graphite; and the Advance and AP Art Portfolio programs run alongside them. - The studio's FAQ maps class length to level (Levels 1 and 2 one hour, Level 3 one to one and a half hours, Advance one and a half hours), but its class sheets also put Levels 1–3 on the 1.5- and 2-hour tiers, so go by the class sheet you are enrolling from. - Adults have their own tier: Tuesday 6–9 pm and Saturday 9 am–12 pm in person, Thursday 7–8:30 pm online, and the studio states the adult schedule does not change over the summer. - Summer art camps run in June and July.

Details

Summer art camps run as eight Monday–Thursday weeks across June and July, three hours a day, with a studio break over the week of July 4. Each week carries a new theme and splits into an ages 5–8 track and an ages 9-and-up track; the themes the studio announced for 2026 ran from clay and mixed media to digital art, architecture and 3D design, wearable art, portrait drawing and canvas painting. The 2026 weeks have concluded — the last two the studio posted week by week were July 20–23 and July 27–30, running AI + Smart Learning, Clay & Paper Mache, 3D Sculpture Studio, Public Speaking & Leadership, a Drawing & Painting camp and Painting Mastery Studio. Ask the studio for the next season's dates.

Our take

Falak Art Studio teaches on a defined ladder of levels: Level 1 covers drawing and watercolor, Level 2 adds pencil shading and Prismacolor work, Level 3 moves into acrylic and charcoal/graphite, and the Advance and AP Art Portfolio programs build a portfolio that can earn high-school and college art credit. Classes meet once a week, in person or online, at a small six-to-one student-teacher ratio, and students get homework each week, so technique builds between sessions.

Because every student works at their own level and pace, the studio takes in a range from a young beginner up through a committed teen preparing an AP portfolio, and it encourages students to enter local, state, and national art contests. There is an adult oil-and-acrylic track where students paint their own subjects at their own pace, plus summer art camps in June and July. The weekly homework is what tells you whether it fits: this is an ongoing class a child stays with, not a casual afternoon.

Local Tips

Falak Art Studio is at 115 West Sandy Lake Road, Suite 400, in Coppell — a fixed studio a short drive south of Southlake, with in-person and online classes. A few practical notes:

  • The studio posts a class sheet for each class length with its days and times, and enrollment runs through its own system.
  • The studio publishes a full fee chart, so you can work out the cost before you call: tuition is set by class length and billed monthly, with an annual supply fee for in-person students. Paying further ahead is cheaper at every step — quarterly, semi-annual, then annual, which drops the supply fee entirely — and there are further discounts for paying by cash or check and for siblings.
  • If your child misses a class, one make-up class is allowed each month — schedule it in the same month if you can, or the following month.

Birthday art parties are a separate offering, booked with a deposit.
