ART CLASSES FOR CHILDREN 5 - 12 YEARS OLD

The age range is between 5 years old and 12 years old and typically classes will have students of varying abilities – beginners are welcome and our experience is that student’s skills improve very quickly. This is a group class but each student has individual attention.

Students will learn different drawing and painting techniques using pencil, charcoal, conti, pastel, acrylic and watercolour. The emphasis will be on learning to draw and paint from observation. Students will gain a better understanding of what they see and improve their skills so that they can translate perception into their own creations. Students will learn about composition, perspective, light and shadow, tone and texture, and will draw from a variety of still life subjects, landscapes and make studies of the human form and animals from photographic images. In each session, students will be exposed to relevant historical works of art which will expand their knowledge of art and broaden their artistic range.
