Classes are back, and we think this picture by Jasmine from our Children's Art Class is the cutest reminder to stay covid safe, remember to sanitise your hands on the way into class. Great work Jasmine! #MACstudentartwork

Our Introduction to Painting short course is desig

Our Introduction to Painting short course is designed for people who are looking to learn the fundamentals of painting. During the course, experienced artist and teacher David Hamilton will introduce you to key concepts to begin your painting journey such as value (light and dark), underpainting, composition, application of paint and tonal painting. If you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before, or have some experience but want to revisit the foundations, this is the course for you!

Limited places remain for our Saturday afternoon course starting on 21st August.

(Any classes impacted by covid lockdowns will be rescheduled or refunded accordingly).

#MAChistorical: The “Ashta Nayika” or “eight

#MAChistorical: The “Ashta Nayika” or “eight heroines” is a classification of women in classical Sanskrit drama according to their responses to/type of relationship with men. It was proposed by ancient Indian theatrologist Bharata Muni in his treatise on the performing arts “Natya Shastra” (compiled between 500 BC and 500 AD). The elegant categorisation is as follows:

1). Vasakasajja Nayika - One dressed up for union
2). Virahotkanthita or Utka Nayika - One distressed by separation
3). Svadhinabhartruka or Svadhinapatika Nayika - One having her lover completely under her control
4). Kalahantarita or Abhisandhita Nayika - One separated by quarrel
5). Khandita Nayika - One enraged with her lover
6). Vipralabdha Nayika - One deceived by her lover
7). Proshitabhartruka Nayika - One with a sojourning husband
8). Abhisarika Nayika - One going to meet her lover

These miniatures depict each character.

Did you know Melbourne Art Class has a blog? (It is award winning, not that we would brag about that or anything). Our latest blog post has just landed and we think it is a great read for the creative personalities out there, and especially timely during another challenging lockdown.

#MACcontemporary: In her ongoing project “Humana

#MACcontemporary: In her ongoing project “Humanae”, Brazilian photographer Angélica Dass has set out to catalogue every conceivable human skin tone. Born in 1979 in Rio de Janeiro and having grown up in a multiracial family, she is acutely aware of how small differences in colour can swell into large misconceptions and stereotypes about race. Angélica pairs thousands of portraits of people from different parts of the world with their alphanumeric Pantone codes. By bringing all the skin tones to the same platform, she topples hierarchies. No ethnicity dominates another.

Also, by noting subtle variations, she subverts the black/white dichotomy that tends to govern our discourse on race. The collection that emerges is stunning in its aesthetic variety and diversity, with faces going from rose pink to caramel to chocolate to ebony. No other trait of identification and classification—like nationality, gender, age, social class or religion—is mentioned.

If your child loves to paint or draw, we still have a few spots remaining in some of our Term 3 Children's and Teens class starting next week. Book now online or email hub@melbourneartclass.com to enquire.

An introductory course to explore the fundamentals

An introductory course to explore the fundamentals of drawing and painting by working from Still Life.

Still Life is an important genre for artists; through it you explore composition, value or tone, colour, space, light and the representation of texture. It can be the foundation of your art practice, or a complete and fascinating subject in itself.

Artist Ilona Kiss will combine live drawing and painting presentations with personal tuition.

Bookings open now via our website www.melbourneartclass.com or the link in our bio!

We highly recommend seeing David's work up close, an opportunity not to be missed!

#MACcontemporary: “A tragedy is a tragedy, and at the bottom, all tragedies are stupid. Give me a choice and I'll take A Midsummer Night's Dream over Hamlet every time. Any fool with steady hands and a working set of lungs can build up a house of cards and then blow it down, but it takes a genius to make people laugh.”
