I am taking a break from teaching to focus on my family, so there won’t be a July holiday programme or term 3 classes.
 
I’m looking forward to being back for a September school holiday programme.

Term 2, 2025 - Painting & Drawing

Bookings open 7pm Sun 6th April

Painting & Drawing

     …with pencil, chalk, crayon, pastel, paint and dye.

For example: painting wild animals or a landscape, and learning to add shadow and texture with brushstrokes, and mixing to match the colours that you see, with a variety of media.

The classes explore line work, shape, size, shading & texture, perspective, and drawing from real objects and imagination. This naturally develops spatial awareness and fine-motor skills.
