Painting and Drawing – Friday Evening Early Teens Studio Art with Marco Corsini
Level: All skill levels
Ages: Suitable for teens in school grades 6 to 10
Specialisations: Acrylic Painting, Drawing, Watercolour, Illustration, Oil painting
This class is for students who are interested in creating outside of regular school hours and would like to further develop their artistic skills. We aim to nurture our students’ natural artistic ability and interests, whilst also teaching the fundamentals of art practice. You can see students’ work here.
We highly encourage students to work on their own personal projects and explore their interests with guidance from their teacher in this class. For students who work better from a more structured approach to art training, teachers will create specific exercises which often open up new, creative pathways for our students, as well as different approaches to art and thinking.
During the term, Marco will present various drawing and painting exercises whilst maintaining student’s creative freedom. Our small class size allows for one-on-one tuition and you will work closely with Marco to develop your skills – in whichever medium you are interested.
Marco Corsini (B.Ed.-Visual Arts and Master Of Creative Arts, University of Melbourne) specialises in painting and drawing.
Marco has exhibited in both Australia and Europe. He was a finalist in the Rick Amor Drawing Prize in 2012 and was the Chief judge for the 2021 Camberwell Art Prize. He has taught in the Victorian school system and is engaged to regularly teach in schools and for corporate organisations.
He began teaching the Enderby Studio Art Program in 2009 which has grown and developed into Melbourne Art Class.
Most materials are supplied.
