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.

Consider what is vital for your art: Most artists look for studios with big windows, lots of natural light, and good ventilation. Good lighting (both natural and artificial) and access to power for art tools are also important. You may also need to modify the space to suit your needs, and the studio should allow this.
