 Dude, your are FAR from from screwed. Thing about art is that it takes the whole "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder thing literally". Just do something vaguely nice and label it abstract.Simple.Not that i'm encouraging you to lie...just saying...it's REALLY easy to get out of this one.
If you do decided to...reinforce your deception with intellectually fueled evasiveness(lie is such a ugly word),
buy some paint palettes and a paint canvas and paint.
Not endorsing lying...just saying...hypothetically.

Errr, well obviously I can't send you my paintings but I could send you pictures of them to an email.
You could just say you have them on your computer because you're not allowed to take them home and show her them or something
OR you could find some pictures on the internet yourself and use the same excuse
The easiest way would be to tell the truth though =/

 Should just be honest with her, guy time is important and i understand you have to lie about stuff. My ex had to do the same with me but it was pointless. Just tell her the truth and tell her its important you both have your own space because youll miss each other that much more. Buy her bunch of flower, dvd and film maybe a little wine when you tell her and trust me it'll be fine. as long as its only the guys your with and reassure her that it is

Think about the reason for your lie and focus on that more than the lie itself. But don't forget to take responsibility for the fact that you lied.
Maybe something like this: I lied about the art class because I just wanted to see my friends. I didn't want you to get mad, but you do everytime I go out, so I lied. It was stupid, and I hope that we can learn from this and work something out where we can both have friends night.
Don't quote me! lol Goodluck!

I'll be honest, you're well and truly in for it here. You have to come clean and whatever she says, you accept with grace and then make it up to her Why was it that you lied in the first place?

Open up and tell her the truth, try and explain why you felt the need to lie but DON'T make out like it was her fault, put the fault entirely on yourself, say you are sorry and that you will be honest and open in future.
If she loves you, I think she should be able to forgive you. Don't make the mistake of going behind her back again.

 That's a pretty inventive lie!However, I hope this shows you that lying will always come back and bite you in the behind. I think you should come clean with her and tell her. Say that you needed some time to yourself and to be with your friends.Why you didn't just tell her the truth to begin with I don't know. You would have saved yourself a big mess!
