Hi!

We’re the Kurilpa Kids’ Art Academy and we’d love to tell you about our art classes. All children, from prep to year 6 are welcome to attend our after-school art classes.

We are passionate about the importance of visual arts in children’s education and the many positive aspects it brings to children’s overall development. We provide a fun, safe and nurturing learning environment where children are supported to explore their creativity.

Classes are held at West End State School 3:00pm – 4:30pm in the J Block Art room.

All ages and abilities welcome.

Term 4 fees (one day per week):

Mondays – $297 (9 weeks)

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays – $330 (10 weeks)

Family and multiple class discounts available (10% off second booking).

Next term we will be exploring:

• Making with clay
• Low relief sculpture
• Drawing and painting

We aim to create a fun, safe and nurturing learning environment where students can explore their creativity, build their confidence and be rewarded with satisfying outcomes, while developing real skills with a wide range of applications.

Our classes offer mixed programs that incorporate a wide variety of different mediums over an extended project that covers the term. The project may resolve in a series of artworks, or a major project that’s completed by the end of term. For example, we may spend a term exploring portraiture using acrylic paint, or a term creating three-dimensional sculptures using clay, and within the term may produce some preparatory artworks and side projects as we work towards completing a major work.

Drawing is always included as a foundational skill, and students that display an aptitude to particular mediums are supported to explore and build upon these skills.

Activities are created that are suitable for all ages, whether children are just starting out and building their fine motor and communication skills, or for more advanced students wanting to refine and develop their art making skills.

Contemporary and historical art is explored as we focus on different themes and mediums.

Science, maths, other STEM subjects, as well as humanities subjects such as history, are frequently incorporated into our content.

Older children may use artwork created in our classes towards visual art folios for high school entry submissions.

We facilitate the creation of artistic treasures that will grace your walls (and lives!) for years to come.
