A real art class after school: pencils, then watercolour, then gouache, ending with an exhibition at the Manly Markets.
This isn't after-school care, it's an art class. Over the term your child learns to work with different materials and tries a new technique each week, building skills they'll keep using.
How the term builds
We start with pencils: line, shading and texture. From there we move on to watercolours, learning washes, blending and layering, and finish with gouache, a richer, opaque paint that brings everything together.
A Valentine's artwork
In the week of Valentine's Day we make a special artwork to take home and give to someone they love.
End-of-term exhibition
The term finishes with an exhibition of the children's work at the Manly Markets, so family and friends can come and see what they've made.
