HOLIDAY ART CLASSES

The Process Studio is facilitated by Xanthe Jackson, a qualified Visual Arts educator and SACE-registered teacher with a passion for helping young people explore their creativity through art.

Each workshop is designed to be age-appropriate, engaging and hands-on, with an emphasis on experimentation, creative thinking and enjoying the process of making.

Your child doesn't need to be an experienced artist — just bring their curiosity and imagination!

AT A GLANCE

TUESDAY — KANDINSKY & ABSTRACT PASTELS

Lines, shapes & colour

Inspired by the abstract work of Wassily Kandinsky, children will experiment with expressive lines, geometric forms and bold colour.

They'll explore:

• Abstract composition
• Shape and line
• Colour relationships
• Layering
• Soft pastel techniques

Take-home: Pastel Art Kit to continue playing and experimenting & finished artwork from the day.

THURSDAY — ACRYLIC PAINTING

Colour, paint & process

A guided acrylic painting workshop introducing children to the basics of working with acrylic paint.

Rather than everyone producing the same picture, learners are given a theme or visual starting point with freedom & guidence for their individual ideas to develop.

They'll explore:

• Colour mixing
• Brush techniques
• Layering
• Composition
• Light and dark
• Developing an artwork from beginning to end

Take-home: Acrylic Paint Art kit, some paint and brushes to play at home. Finished acrylic paintings created during the workshop.
