Afterschool Paint & Draw classes for student in year 5, 6, 7 & 8 are designed especially for kids who enjoy drawing, or have a talent or special interest in art!

The first two terms of the year follow a theme and students work towards a mid year art show - and the second half of the year has a different theme and students then work towards an end of year project.

For term one and term two 2024 our studio theme is "I AM AN ARTIST"
On the 22nd June students will host their very own art exhibition to show off their work!

Our I AM AN ARTIST theme is all about celebrating each student's unique style and building confidence and self esteem through art making. Over the first two terms students will learn practical techniques in drawing and painting and also have the opportunity to learn about presenting work for display and understanding how art contributes to our community.

In term one students will be focusing on:

Drawing skills - developing advanced skills for drawing with pencil and pen to create rich images with shading, line work and detail.

Drawing with colour - learning how to use products like pastels, markers and pencils to apply realistic or creative colour when drawing!

Painting - exploring all things watercolour!!

Classes combine instruction and skill building with the opportunity for children to find their own creative expression and style - we train young artists to be their best creative selves and not just produce copied art projects. This helps build both art making ability and self esteem and confidence!

Our classes involve set lessons each week and students will complete a number of works over the term and get to try different art products and methods.

In term one this class will be taught by Claire & Emmie
