I Create art St Ita St Ita's Primary school after school art classes
Day: Wednesday 3pm - 4:30pm
Teacher: Mirjam Stevens Please go to the contact page to enquire for more information.
Suitable for children in grade 1-6 or if a child turns 6 in prep.
The classes are taught on the school premises and students get collected from a fixed waiting area near Merici place after school. Students are encouraged to pack a bit of extra food for afternoon tea as an after school snack greatly improves their concentration skills.
These art classes offer a fun and exciting art program using and exploring a wide variety of materials and techniques, such as drawing, painting, clay, printmaking, collage, paper mache, mixed media etc.
Through Mirjam’s gentle guidance and tuition your child will learn self-expression, originality, risk taking, problem solving, experimentation and most importantly, will build confidence in their own abilities. Students will also be exposed to a variety of classical, modern and contemporary art and art periods and gain some understanding of how artists worked and apply their ideas. Every term will focus on drawing and painting skills as well as another technique to be announced before the start of each term.
For examples of student work please visit the student gallery to see some of the amazing art students have made in the I Create Art St Ita.
Even though aprons are supplied, students are encouraged to either bring their own apron that can provide full coverage as the aprons provided do not always give sufficient coverage (often students wear an older school shirt on art days or change into another t-shirt).
