You asked, so I listened – presenting my new art programme for children and teenagers!

As an artist who began her formal art education at the A. Kenar School of Fine Arts at just thirteen and later earned a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Conservation and Restoration of Fine Arts, I know first hand how art nurtures personal growth and helps in integrating skills. With over 12 years of professional art education, I want to share this transformative experience with Queenstown's youth—helping them develop creative skills that will extend far beyond the art room.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

In each session, students will experience rich, personalized instruction that nurtures their creative development and help them find their own style. These classes are designed to foster creativity, focus, and problem-solving skills through fun and engaging exercises.

By exploring a range of artistic techniques and challenges, children will learn to visualize, create, and problem-solve, developing not just technical art skills, but also the confidence to bring their ideas to life.

Art is more than just about drawing or painting—it’s a powerful tool for understanding the world, presenting information, initiating projects, and building the resilience to see them through to completion. Through these classes, students will not only improve their creative abilities but also gain valuable life skills that will support their personal and academic development.

WHY ART MATTERS?
• Creative Problem-Solving – Art encourages thinking outside the box and finding unique solutions.
• Confidence Building – Completing creative projects fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.
• Project Initiation & Completion – Students learn how to follow through on ideas and stick with tasks.
• Improved Focus – Engaging the senses through art helps train attention and mindfulness.
