KID’S ART - AGE 7-11

Young artists will experiment with a variety of new techniques and mediums such as drawing, painting in watercolour and acrylics, collage, stencilling, stamping and photography and create unique, self-expressive mixedmedia artworks. A balance between direction and freedom, these classes are so much more than just an art class, they a rare opportunity for our children to express themselves and who they are creatively, become comfortable with their own abilities, skills and style and perhaps even develop valuable skills they need to feel comfortable to become more like their unique selves instead of always trying be like everyone else.

MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

For self-expression and mindfulness. Students all over the world are using my unique techniques to totally free their creativity, to bring more relaxation and mindfulness into
their lives and begin to develop a unique painting style of their own! Great for total beginners, as well as more advanced artists, these classes will teach you skills and techniques in many different mediums, then how to bring them all together into something that is uniquely your own. Most importantly in this class, you will gently learn to trust (and to be) yourself!!!

I will teach you all my favourite processes, techniques, tips and tricks that allow you to express yourself; let go, be more in the moment and......create art you love making. This work is spontaneous, intuitive and expressive, as opposed to precise and planned and it is really freeing.

EXPRESSIVE TEENS ART CLASSES - AGES 12 PLUS

Is your teenager creative? A day-dreamer and a thinker, an introvert who would rather sit and read and draw, than play sports or socialise all the time? Would you like to encourage their creativity, and their uniqueness, introduce them to new ways they can express themselves and become comfortable with their own abilities and qualities? A unique balance of skill development, instruction, guidance and FREEDOM, these expressive art classes are a rare opportunity for our teens to learn professional art skills and techniques and express themselves authentically.

A space where they do not have to perfect everything to be any good, reach a single desired outcome, or be like everyone else. A space where they instead learn how to become comfortable with themselves, and develop selftrust, courage and self-confidence through the creative process.

Spaces are limited and a materials list will be provided when you book in with the centre.

DRAWING & PAINTING CONTINUED

In our class we are continuously discovering new mediums and learning new professional drawing and painting techniques. We see developments in each other’s work every single week.

Class members enjoy hanging out within a group of like-minded creative people, whist exploring mediums such as watercolour, acrylic painting, pencil, pen and pastel drawing, pen and ink and mixed media. It is encouraged from the start that you learn to feel comfortable in your own individual artistic ability and that you allow yourself to be creative. Prior experience in drawing is an advantage in these classes, but not essential. Mediums and themes change. Please ask if you would like more details.
