# The Seasons Art Class > The Seasons Art Class® is a UK-wide provider of in-person, 14-week art courses for adult beginners and improvers, covering drawing, oil pastels, watercolours, and acrylics. Established in 2009, it now operates 140+ local branches across the UK (and expanding internationally), serving around 4,500 students weekly, and also offers a franchise/licence model for people who want to run their own branch. Seasons Art Class classes are held in person at local venues (village halls, hotels, community spaces) and run by licensed branch owners/tutors following a structured, step-by-step curriculum. Students complete around 12 original pieces of art over the 14-week course. No experience is required. The business also recruits franchisees ("Licence Owners") to open and run new branches under the Seasons model. ## Courses - [Course Modules Overview](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/courses/): Summary of the 14-week course structure and the four art mediums taught - [Drawing](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/courses/drawing/): Pencil drawing module covering pencil control, perspective, tonal values, and observational skills - [Oil Pastels](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/courses/oil-pastels/): Oil pastels module covering colour, blending, texture, and expressive artwork including pet portraits - [Watercolours](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/courses/watercolours/): Watercolour module covering colour mixing, washes, layering, and brush control - [Acrylics](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/courses/acrylics/): Acrylic painting module covering composition, colour, layering, and creative expression ## Company - [About Us](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/about-us/): Company history since 2009, growth to 140+ UK branches, and profiles of the founder and core team - [FAQs](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/faqs/): Common questions about joining a class, experience level, materials, and course logistics - [Find a Class](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/find-a-class/): Directory/locator for finding a local Seasons Art Class branch near you - [Blog](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/blog/): Articles and news related to art tuition, student stories, and the Seasons Art Class community ## Franchise Opportunities - [Franchise Overview](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/franchise/): Introduction to owning and operating a Seasons Art Class® franchise branch - [Our Model](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/franchise/our-model/): Explanation of the Seasons Art Class franchise business model - [The Package](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/franchise/the-package/): Details of what is included in the franchise package for new Licence Owners - [Franchise FAQs](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/franchise/faqs/): Common questions from prospective franchisees about running a branch ## Optional - [Privacy Policy](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/privacy-policy/): Data protection and privacy practices - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/terms-and-conditions/): Terms governing use of the site and course bookings - [Code of Conduct](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/code-of-conduct/): Expected standards of behaviour for students and staff - [Complaints Policy](https://www.theseasonsartclass.com/complaints-policy/): Process for raising and resolving complaints
