Teens Term Studio Art (Painting and Drawing)

Painting and drawing for teenagers.

Level: All skill levels
Ages: Suitable for teens in school grades 8 to 12

This class is for Secondary school 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 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, teachers 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 our teachers to develop your skills – in whichever medium you are interested.

Most materials are supplied for painting and drawing for teenagers.

We also offer classes for Early Teens 5-10

Teens classes FAQ’s

Take a look at some of our FAQ’s below, or contact us if you have specific questions!

Q: “My child is a complete beginner, is it okay to enrol them”?

A: These courses are designed for all skills (beginner, intermediate and advanced)! We keep our class sizes small and have a teacher and teacher’s assistant for the younger age groups. Students get plenty of one on one instruction from teachers to guide them on their individual artist’s journey. Our years of experience have taught us that students are best supported when surrounded by like-minded and similarly-aged peers, so we recommend selecting the correct age group.

Q: “Can I book a trial class?”

A: We recommend trying out our School Holiday Workshops as a trial class for the term classes. Our School Holiday Workshops run every school holidays (workshops vary), are run by the same teachers who teach the term classes, and are usually attended by many of the students who attend during the term. They are a fantastic way to check out Melbourne Art Class before booking in for term classes.

Q: “Do I need to provide art supplies?”

A: No, we provide these for you! Everything your child needs for their courses is supplied for you, included in the term course cost.

Q: “How many students per class?”

A: Our teens’ classes are capped at 12 students per class (10 depending on studio.)

Q: “The class I’m looking at says ‘full’, what should I do?”

A: We offer teens’ classes Monday through Wednesday during the school term, so if the class you are interested in is full, please check availability on the other days.
