Art Class for 7 - 9's (Term 4, Weeks 6 - 10)

Join Elena and Holly for afternoon art workshops! Each class will blend skill-building activities with a creative, open-ended project that students can use to build and share their own stories. Term 4 classes will be run in five week blocks which will allow us to deep dive into a longer project. This block will run from Weeks 6 to 10 on the following dates: • Tuesday 17 November 4 - 5:30 PM • Tuesday 24 November 4 - 5:30 PM • Tuesday 1 December 4 - 5:30 PM • Tuesday 8 December 4 - 5:30 PM • Tuesday 15 December 4 - 5:30 PM When you book this block, you are booking all five workshops. OUR PROJECT In this project, we will be exploring paper maché, painting, and modelling. We will be creating our own hot air balloon, destined to fly off on wonderful adventures. We will learn how to create 3D objects with paper maché, including our balloon and the basket below, and how to prime and decorate these with patterns, fabric, textures, and miniature details. We will design characters to fly our hot air balloons and use polymer clay to bring them to life. We'll explore fun mini-lessons on how to use each material to create our desired effect. PLEASE NOTE • The age range on this workshop is strict. Grouping similarly aged children means everyone can participate equally in the activities and that we can program appropriate and exciting activities for the group. Please enrol your child in the correct workshop. • We recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting paint, glue and other art materials on. We use non-toxic and touch safe art materials. • Parents/guardians are not required to stay with children. There is not room within the Studio for parents to wait, but you are welcome to wait in the Courtyard (in view of the Studio) or bookshop. • Ticket sales close 24 hours before the first class. • We are unable to credit or process partial refunds for missed classes. TICKET INFORMATION We recommend booking your tickets early to avoid disappointment, as the class size is kept small (7 or less children). Please purchase a ticket for each child that will attend.
