The academy provides the majority of the supplies for students, while brushes, sketchbooks, and specialty items must be purchased by the student or parent.
• Ages: 8–18 years old
• Schedule: Class options Monday–Saturday with 2-hour, 3-hour, and one 4-hour Advanced Studies class; specific offerings include a Monday 3-hour Adult and Portfolio Class (5–8), a Tuesday 2-hour Sculpting class (5–7), Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 2-hour (5–7) and 3-hour (5–8) classes for students 12 and older (Friday also for adults), and a Saturday 2-hour class (11–1) for students 10 years old and older

The Babajanyan Art Academy was founded in 2015 by professional artist Alexander Babajanyan. The leadership team includes founder and professional artist Alexander Babajanyan, Mr. Alex as a teacher, and Mrs. Anna as the instructor for the sculpting class. The academy’s mission states a commitment to providing high quality arts education to all students, inspiring them to have a passion for creative expression, and equipping them with knowledge and skills to prepare them for an extensive range of artistic careers.
The academy states that it is for individuals who want to be artists and are prepared to go through an arduous journey in order to get there, and it emphasizes that artistic skill and knowledge require extreme and lifelong dedication. Students are expected to continue to practice outside of the classroom, to maintain many sketchbooks for different contexts, and to prioritize homework and practice, including periodic homework such as vocabulary, reading, or artwork. The academy has a strict no cell phone rule in which cell phones are taken away from students and are inaccessible until close to dismissal, with contact between parent and child handled through the school’s phone if needed.
Students at Babajanyan Art Academy work toward proficiency in four basic concentrations of art: practice, theory, history, and critique. Through practice, they enhance their abilities to draw and paint, master the proper use of tools, and understand the chemistry of their materials. In theory, they study the aesthetics of art and design, color theory, and composition. In history, they learn how art has been used to change the world and how it is used in everyday life, and in critique, they learn how to evaluate and provide constructive criticism of themselves, their peers, and others using knowledge from practice, theory, and history.
The academy states that students will gain life lessons in math, anatomy, biology, chemistry, and history through art, and that they will learn self-discipline, patience, respect, responsibility, and gain confidence in themselves and their work. The Monday class is for students who need to work on portfolios for college admission and is also an advanced class with lessons specific to those portfolios, and it is also described as a class for adults who want to pursue art. The sculpting class is available for students 9 and older, the Wednesday and Thursday classes are for students 12 and older, the Friday class is for students 12 and older and adults, and the Saturday class is for students 10 years old and older.
The academy notes that space is very limited and that its slogan is “Art is Life!” It also sells merchandise through an online store. The Babajanyan Art Academy states that it takes art and art education very seriously and expects students to show passion, love, and commitment.
