Art Classes for Kids, Term Two, After School on Mondays

Working with an artist, participants will explore art techniques, principles, processes, artist’s work and traditional arts from around the world—developing their skill, creativity and knowledge. Emphasis is on self-expression and exploration of techniques, principles, etc, so that children learn through examples of work, exploration and ‘play’.

Each term covers a range of media, including clay, drawing, painting, collage and sculpture, with focus on process and the journey of learning, the result—high-quality artwork.

4 - 6 PM | Suitable for 7 - 15 yrs

All materials and equipment are provided and included in the cost.

These sessions are education-based, but a lot of fun, designed for students who enjoy art and want to develop their skills.

Children needing tuition and supervision for their own artwork are welcome to attend.
