LEARN TO DRAW REALISM LIKE A PRO  - Join us in Term 4 and give your creative kids a head start in the art world as they learn professional skills with our weekly drawing classes. This isn't free-drawing or a "bit of fun" class. We've spent 5 years developing our drawing classes to ensure they meet professional standards. At Paint With Me, we meet each artist where they are; making our classes perfect for beginners, intermediate, advanced, or even casual artists.

Learning to draw with us starts each artist's journey to get to where they want to be as they have FUN whilst learning age appropriate techniques and theory needed to master the best drawing practices in the biz. We help kids to build confidence, cultivate feedback/critique skills, and shine a light on their individual creativity. 

Each term teaches a different branch of drawing. Term 3 was all about character design! This term, we're taking it to another level with a program focused on REALISM! 

In Term 4, kids will work to develop their realism drawing skills through learning foundational techniques, important art and design theory (such as complex perspective, negative space, subject and environment composition, capturing accurate texture and surface, light, and more), and will be engaging their minds and artistic skills in social, engaging, fun, and educationally rigorous classes.
