Southlake Art Academy

Welcome!  Space still available in Thursday afternoon classes.  A
new class on Wednesday's from 4:15 - 5:30 PM is now open.


At Southlake Art Academy (SAA), we strive to provide:
Developmental and sequential art
lessons for all ages;
Small student to teacher ratios;
Professional instruction by
practicing, degreed teacher and
artist with 14+ years of experience.
About us...
SAA was started by Southlake art teacher, Monica Lapierre-Hayslip, in
October 2004 as a response to Carroll ISD cutting K-8 art programs in half.   
All art programs have since been restored.

A veteran art teacher of 14+ years, Mrs. Lapierre-Hayslip recognized the need
in Southlake, TX and surrounding communities for quality art instruction from
an educator and artist in all mediums and for all ages.  With a
B.A. from
Boston College in Studio Art and an M.S.Ed. from Nazareth College of
Rochester, NY in Elementary Education
, Mrs. Lapierre-Hayslip opened the
doors with 50+ students.  Since October 2004, she has served over 300+
students.  All classes are taught in her
Southlake, TX classroom .
Our teaching philosophy....

Art students learn best from a facilitator and each other,
when grouped with students of the same developmental
level.
 

All students explore 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional
mediums + techniques and related historical artists.
