Making Pictures is a fun introduction to art for kids ages 6 to 10 years. Children will be exposed to different styles of art, a colour explosion of paint and other mediums. The course topics can include kiwiana NZ, animals, birds and a few landscapes thrown in the mix. Our teacher, Amber will teach the basics of drawing and painting.

The children will use various mediums such as paints, pastels, dyes, graphite pencils and more.
Using a step by step process, kids will learn layout and composition principles.
