We were pleased that yesterday’s announcement ga

We were pleased that yesterday’s announcement gave clarity about when we can reopen Melbourne Art Class and are excited to be resuming some classes from Wednesday 3rd November, with others starting in the weeks following.

Our priority is to resume our Studio Art, Children’s & Teen’s Art Classes, and short courses that had already commenced prior to lockdown. Students from these classes can expect to receive an email in the next 2 days so please keep an eye on your inbox (and maybe junk mail, just in case) for dates and details coming soon.

If you are keen to try something new, we will be looking at scheduling new courses once our existing courses are back up and running. In the meantime you can still head to melbourneartclass.com and put your name on the list to be notified of new courses you are interested in so you are the first to know when they open for bookings.

We thank you for your continued support, patience and understanding and look forward to welcoming you back to Melbourne Art Class very soon.

#MACcontemporary: Christi Belcourt (born 1966), is a Canadian artist known for her signature floral patterns against dark backgrounds. A Métis (part First Nations, part European), she preserves both the beliefs and crafts of her ancestors through her art—for instance, harmony with nature and beadwork. Belcourt’s designs have inspired a range by the luxury fashion house Valentino.

When we know more, we will email our current students and update our website so that we can get back to what we love. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, we still have a few opportunities for you to join us online. Bookings at melbourneartclass.com

#MAChistorical: “The Elephant Celebes” (1921)

#MAChistorical: “The Elephant Celebes” (1921) by German artist Max Ernst (1891-1976) is a masterpiece of both Dadaism and Surrealism.

The painting contains a mechanical elephant, a totem-like pole, bull’s horns, flying fish, nude figure, trail of smoke, and more. The collage style makes it Dada (this was an anti-war movement that promoted irrationality over the hard and cold logic of nationalism, colonialism and capitalism). Additionally, the artwork’s strangeness and unexpected juxtapositions make it Surreal.

It looks like a dream, or the manifestation of the unconscious mind.

We encourage you to take a look at the extraordina

We encourage you to take a look at the extraordinary work of @graemedrendel in his latest exhibition ‘The First Dance’ presented by Beaver Galleries from 14-31 October 2021. Available to see in person in Canberra (by appointment), or online at beavergalleries.com.au/exhibitions/the-first-dance/drendel/, it is not to be missed!

Graeme is a Melbourne based artist who has exhibited across Australia. We are lucky to have Graeme teach his portraiture masterclasses and workshops as Melbourne Art Class and thrilled to share his work.

#MACcontemporary: There are countless articles and

#MACcontemporary: There are countless articles and videos available that will teach you how to “conquer” procrastination, automatically approaching the phenomenon in a negative manner. But Wharton psychologist Adam Grant offers a counterintuitive take. He writes: “Procrastinating is a vice when it comes to productivity, but it can be a virtue for creativity. What you see with a lot of great originals is that they are quick to start but they’re slow to finish.” And any creative person can use procrastination strategically.

Grant says that while it’s true that the early bird gets the worm, it’s also a fact that the early bird gets the early worm. Meaning—if you give some time to finishing your task, you will allow yourself to be open to the widest range of possible ideas, even better ones. A good example is Martin Luther King Jr. For his famous speech, he’d written a script well in advance but not finalised it. It was only a few minutes before he stepped up to the podium that he added his soul-stirring history-changing words: “I have a dream”.

Looking for artistic inspiration? Look no further,

Looking for artistic inspiration? Look no further, our weekly art project is just what you need!

Each week during lockdown we are posting a new project on our website, designed to inspire and educate beginner and experienced artists alike.

The projects invite you to explore concepts of existing works, and then use these concepts to create your own!

Just for fun, or to be taken more seriously if you like, we hope this content inspires you to create.

Head to melbourneartclass.com/weekly-project to take a look.

#MAChistorical: The founder of the Hudson River Sc

#MAChistorical: The founder of the Hudson River School, the Anglo-American painter Thomas Cole (1801–1848) is known for his romantic portrayals of the American wilderness.

Among his famous works is “The Voyage of Life”, a series of four paintings titled “Childhood”, “Youth”, “Manhood” and “Old Age”. The first shows a lush landscape with a child emerging from a dark cave, the second big dreams and a faraway castle in the clouds, the third hardship and stormy weather, the fourth shows calm and readiness for the final destination. A guardian angel remains present throughout.
