Class Structure
Teaching style
Classes teach fundamental drawing, painting, observation, contextual, and creative skills. Each class has been carefully planned with a new project each time to ensure a variety of themes, materials, and techniques are explored over a period of time. Students benefit from teaching by demonstration, through examples, group discussions and sharing of their work with others.
Supporting school-based learning
Classes teach students how to improve and develop their existing skills and creativity, while developing a personal approach to projects so students can build on what they have been taught at school.
Learning and development
Students have plenty of time to explore and nurture their own creative ideas. There is ample opportunity to contribute to group activities, receive lots of positive feedback and praise, share ideas and learn from each other in a supportive group environment.
Students remain interested and engaged throughout the class – continually learning something new. This encourages students to be creatively independence and develop self-confidence.
Classes also contribute towards developing a focused attitude, improved wellbeing and sense of accomplishment.
Health + welfare
It is essential that all students are accompanied by a responsible adult, parent or carer who can take responsibility for their health and welfare during the class.
Books, magazines and refreshments are available while they wait.
Individual attention
Students benefit from high-quality teaching and a small group size that guarantees lots of individual support for every student. We take care and due diligence to ensure students receive the best and most positive experience.
