Botanical Drawings

This January, let your child explore their creativity with our exciting art classes! Each session is dedicated to learning about a famous artist and their unique techniques, giving children the chance to create their artwork while having fun.

The duration is 2 hours, each class begins with a short introduction to the "Artist of the Day" or theme followed by a demonstration of the technique. With this new knowledge, children will then create their own original pieces. Up to 6 years young.

Day 2.       Botanical Drawings: Inspired by nature and artists such as Margaret Preston and Margaret Mee, this class will teach children how to draw beautiful plants and flowers with accuracy and creativity.

The course can be booked as a full series of 10, half or children can attend individual classes, Each session is self-contained, so they’ll complete a different project each day.

All art supplies are included, so there’s no need to bring anything. Since we’ll be working with inks and paints, we recommend that children come dressed in clothes that can get messy.
