If you're looking for maximum illumination, consider painting the walls and ceiling a light value, such as off-white. Light (from the window and electrical fixtures) will bounce off surrounding surfaces and create ambient, reflected illumination. The result is a well-lit and cheery workspace.

Use shelving, a table, or a screen to delineate (or hide!) the art area in a family room or living room. 2. Take over a corner. Place a desk and some shelving with baskets to hold art materials in the corner of any room.

How much space does an art room need? If the room is for just 2 dimensional work (Painting/drawing) then 1000 square feet would be adequate for 30 students. More is always better, but this would suffice. If you plan to do 2 dimensional work, more storage space is needed, and more work area, so 1250 feet is required.
