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.

Get ready to draw, colour, create and have FUN!In this exciting drawing class, young artists will learn how to create fun, colourful and imaginative cartoon-style drawings while experimenting with a variety of awesome art materials. Each week brings a brand-new project — from funny characters and cute creatures to magical worlds, crazy food, monsters and more! Kids will learn how to turn simple shapes into expressive characters, add personality and detail, and make their artwork pop with colour. Along the way, they'll explore markers, coloured pencils, oil pastels, pencils and mixed media, discovering different ways to blend, layer, shade, outline and add texture. Kids will be encouraged to add their own ideas and personality to every project, so everyone's artwork will be completely unique. Designed for ages 7–13, the class is suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced young artists. Projects are taught using a multi-level approach, so every child can work at a level that challenges them without taking away the fun.
