THE CLASS EXPERIENCE
The classes are very hands-on and layered week by week so students build both skills and confidence naturally throughout the term.
No two terms are ever exactly the same because I love introducing fresh ideas, trends, techniques, mediums and exciting materials, but generally the flow looks something like this:
Inspiration + Concept Development
We start with ideas, inspiration, sketching, colour palettes and creative exploration. Students learn how to develop concepts and think creatively rather than copying. We usually experiment with materials straight away so everyone loosens up and gets excited.
Foundations + Technique Building
This is where we start exploring different techniques depending on the project — colour mixing, layering, brush techniques, texture creation, composition or mixed media elements.
Texture + Detail Work
Students begin building depth into their work. This could involve textured mediums, scratching techniques, layering paint, collage, fabric, wearable art elements or experimental mark making.
Creative Confidence Stage
By this point everyone starts relaxing creatively and adding more of their own personality into the work. I encourage individuality heavily — no two artworks need to look the same.
Refining + Developing Artwork
Students begin refining their major pieces and learning how to balance colour, composition and finishing details.
Advanced Techniques + Personal Style
This is usually where the magic happens because students start taking creative risks and really developing their own style.
Final Layers + Finishing Touches
We focus on presentation, final details and bringing the artwork together professionally.
Celebrate + Showcase
The final week is all about finishing pieces, celebrating progress and building pride and confidence around what they’ve created.
BIG PICTURE WHAT I HOPE STUDENTS ACHIEVE
More than anything, I want students to walk away feeling confident creatively and personally.
Of course they learn practical art skills and techniques, but the bigger transformation is confidence, self-expression, problem-solving, resilience and creative thinking.
I want kids and teens especially to feel like they have a space where being different, imaginative and expressive is actually celebrated.
I also want students to understand that art doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful. Some of the best work comes from experimenting, taking risks and trusting your instincts.
The studio environment is supportive, energetic and inspiring. People often come in nervous and leave genuinely proud of themselves. That’s probably the most rewarding part for me.
