This portrait course introduces students to the essential skills needed to create convincing portraits in both drawing and painting. During the first half of the course, students will develop a strong foundation in drawing by learning proportion, perspective, basic anatomy, and value, with an emphasis on seeing and simplifying forms. In the second half, students will transition into painting, exploring value, colour mixing, and practical painting techniques through guided exercises and a final portrait project. Through demonstrations, hands-on practice, and individual feedback, students will gain a better understanding of structure, light, and colour while building confidence in creating expressive and realistic portraits.

Feathers & Fur: A Creative Drawing AdventureBring your favourite animals to life in this exciting drawing course! From fluffy pets and majestic birds to woodland creatures and wild animals, young artists will discover how to capture the textures, shapes, and personalities of the animal kingdom using a variety of professional drawing materials. Throughout the course, students will experiment with graphite pencils of different grades, coloured pencils, and watercolour pencils while learning essential drawing techniques such as shading, blending, texture, proportion, and colour layering. They'll build confidence with every project as they create artwork they'll be proud to take home. Designed for ages 7–13, this class is taught using a multi-level approach. More experienced artists will be encouraged to add extra detail and refine their techniques, while younger or newer artists can simplify each project and work at their own pace. Everyone is supported and challenged at the level that's right for them.
