Description

These classes value children's natural curiosity, imagination and enthusiasm for art.

We provide a mix of experiences designed to develop their skill base, introduce them to different artists and styles and encourage their flourishing creativity. Painting, drawing, watercolour, ink and pastel skills are woven into our fun and challenging classes.

As well as skill development, kids can expect to have lots of fun exploring their ideas in a variety of different art mediums and techniques.

Participants have the opportunity to exhibit in our end of year diversARTy exhibition at Eltham Library Gallery to celebrate their achievements with friends and family.
