Class size 1 to 8 (public classes), 6 to 10

Looking for a creative and engaging workshop for your kids these school holidays? Join us for a fun and exciting art and craft class in Melbourne.
In this workshop, your children will learn about three styles of painting, watercolour, acrylic painting and fluid art while exploring their artistic side.
Under the guidance of experienced teacher Julie, your kids explore:
* Watercolour / Inky painting: Using watercolour paper as a base, we will use watercolour paint and possibly some inks to create magical effects and an abstract art form. The process of the paint and ink interacting with the water is fun and inspiring.
* Acrylic Painting: We will start by practicing to blend paint on a small canvas using a paint brush and then add some textured paint for trees or flowers with a brush or palette knife.
* Fluid Art: Children will be introduced to the wonder of fluid art where they can create beautiful, colourful pieces of artwork. We will do one fluid art painting on a 30 x 40 cm canvas. With no brushes required, they'll learn the technique of pouring paint to create stunning paintings. Please note that the fluid art paintings will need to lie flat to dry and can be picked up from the studio in 2-3 days' time.
At our workshop, parents and carers are welcome to stay as observers or helpers, although it's not required unless your child needs individualized support. (Please let us know if you want to stay in the checkout comments.)
If your child is not able to follow instructions or needs more support than one staff to eight children can provide, then please discuss this with Julie prior to booking.
You can feel at ease knowing that Julie holds the necessary qualifications and checks (Working with Children Check, Police Check and NDIS screening check) to ensure a safe and professional environment.
This workshop is not only about learning new art techniques, but it's also a chance for your child to explore their imagination, build confidence, and make new friends along the way. They will be proud of their creations.
Knowledge required
No prior knowledge or skills required.
 
What you'll get
Participants are provided with all supplies provided including: acrylic paint, watercolour paint, water colour paper, pouring medium, gloves, apron, cups, tools, two canvas (one 8 x 10 inch and once 12 x 16 inch).
 
What to bring
  • Drinking water will be provided, but you are welcome to bring drinks and (nut free) snacks. As the class is 3 hours and goes over lunch, please bring lunch.
  • We use acrylic paint that is non toxic. Remember to wear old clothes as it can be a messy business, and whilst the paint and mediums will wash out if you get to it quickly, that is not always easy to do.
