Kids Make Art After-school Sessions Term 4‏

More excitement this school term with spring in the air and summer peeping around the corner what fun we are going to have!

Working on our Artist’s Books

Our ongoing project that may just go on forever.

All about freedom, play, self-expression and experimentation.

Again a good long 10 week term to give us a wonderful opportunity to have fun exploring the different art elements, techniques and mediums that we can use to express ourselves.

After-school art sessions are on Wednesday & Friday and run for 2 hours after school, 4 to 6pm, and are directed towards 6-12 year old artists.

Both sessions include afternoon tea* in addition to the supply of all art materials and equipment.

We have started back, the first week of term, which was the week beginning Monday October 7th 2013, with our first art sessions on Wednesday 9th and Friday 11th.

‘Crikey you have already started & we missed out!’..... Don’t worry you can start at anytime during the term.

You can book your child in for the whole term or attend casually, week by week.

However, BOOKINGS are a must so that I can creatively cater for all. (That is a couple of days notice is always good for me).

Telephone Bookings: 0415 155 287

*Snacks and drinks provided are (water/juice box, popcorn, rice crackers, cheese and/or biscuits, simple stuff). Please let me know if your child has any allergies, food intolerances, dietary requirements etc.

ON THE FINANCIAL SIDE:

For the Wednesday and Friday group’s 10-week term, the upfront payment for permanent booking is $280 per young artist at one session per week.

Or $30 per session for casual - week by week - bookings. Price includes afternoon tea* and the supply of all art materials and equipment.

This term, due to the final week of term often being so busy with Pre-Christmas school and social events, I have decided it best to not run formal art sessions that week and definitely NO art sessions on the final day of school term, Friday 20th December due to early school finish (1pm) & holiday plans etc.

  

PAYMENT

You can pay me via Direct Deposit Banking into my bank account cash or cheque.

KIDS MAKE ART. What have we been up to!

What a fabulous time we having been having at Kids Make Art.

Here are some amazing pieces your young artists have been working on.

Exploring Tree Forms

Looking at basic tree shapes. 

How they grow.

How you might say that in a picture.

How you might say that with paint?

AND WE ALSO PLAYED WITH FIRE & CHARCOAL

Experimenting with Charcoal and Trees

Experimenting with Charcoal and Trees

We did 2 sessions exploring charcoal. In this one we talked about how charcoal came from burnt willow sticks. And how we can make some really exciting and different marks with it. Had some fun with basic shapes & lines as a warm up then got into drawing a burning forest.  

Experimenting with Charcoal and Trees

Loved that everyone got the irony of this project and then went on to make some very unique beautiful art.

AND THEN WE

Experimented with Charcoal and subtractive drawing

What a hoot we had here. 

Instead of adding the charcoal to make a drawing we had to take it away or subtract the image out of the dark. Working hard with rubbers, rags, paper stumps and even old bread, we pulled our still life image out of the dark and into the light.….So much mess and so much fun

And even mastering the basic concepts of Still-Life in this project.

What clever young artists you all are!

After Paul Klee

Here the students were exploring not only a great artist but grids, text and poems in art, pattern, composition, colour just to name a few elements that make art amazing.

Such beautiful work at the end of each art session. 

The kids proudly hang their work on the wall and stand back to view and look at the great stuff they have achieved. 

You mini artists rock!

This is only a tincy bit of these guys art work.

So many wonderful pieces to see at our end of year exhibition.
