In junior class we do a project per class you child will take their finished work home on the day.
At senior and intermediary level we teach lots of technique when exploring each new medium, and we encourage our artists to take their time and savor this beautiful process.
Some projects last 2-4 weeks, and you will have something lovely for your walls when we’re done.
Yes you can do a trial class at any time for all of my classes to see if you like the classes. Cost €10.
Intermediate class
Age 7 to 10 depends on child’s drawing level.
This is a step up from junior class where children start to work independently on individual work.
We follow a step by step system see example below.
Each child chooses their own projects from over 500+ different print outs.
I help each child with their drawing and painting and coloring.
I give each student individual time during each class.
They have access to all the supplies in the art room including professional markers, pastels, watercolor, acrylic, color pencils and much more!
I teach guided drawing at this level. The children follow along as we work our way step by step through our class project. The children learn the basics of drawing.
At the beginning of term they learn how to use watercolor, pastels, sharpies, poster paint.
The emphasis is on enjoying the process finishing pieces of work they can be proud of.
We explore pencil, watercolor pencils, coloring pencils, watercolor, oil paste, sharpie, paint, chalk pastel, explaining how they work and how they can be used together.
We work on a new class project every week.
Children bring their project home at the end of each class.

What do I do with all this art work my children bring home?
There are lots of apps out there to photograph and share art work. I find it’s easier to just take a snap as soon as you pick your child up from class on your phone and save the art work to a dedicated folder.
This is what I use in class to store images in our library I buy them at mr price. All the work the children produced is a4 size and will fit into these folders.
A4 40 POCKET DISPLAY BOOK

It’s a good idea to buy a few frames from ikea and rotate your children’s work from the fold.
If your children are attending my classes all their art will fit into the Ribba frame from ikea at a cost of 7.00 euros.
These frames make great gifts for family and friends.
