Fun Art classes / courses in Brisbane

Looking for fun things to do in Brisbane this weekend? It’s the perfect time to get creative with some of our fun art classes in Brisbane.

If you scroll through our art class listings on ClassBento you will find a range of art workshops to suit every interest and every budget. We have searched for the best art teachers in Brisbane and rounded up some of the best art classes in Brisbane so that you can find them all in one place. At ClassBento we’re all about empowering artists and crafters to teach their passion, and for people everywhere to discover new hobbies away from digital screens. Most of all, our range of art classes gives you the chance to find unique things to do in Brisbane outside of the usual Brisbane tourist attractions.

Learn how to draw at one of our fun drawing classes, kickback after work with a group paint and sip painting class, get experimental at a resin art class, entertain your kids after school with our range of art classes for kids, or if you’re looking for school holiday activities for kids in Brisbane why not immerse them at an art school for kids. If you’re looking for art classes for adults you will find a range of still life drawing classes, basic drawing lessons, painting courses like watercolor painting, and even calligraphy classes. Our teachers tell us that the first thing people say when they come to a class is “I’m not creative.” The best thing about our art workshops is that they will help you uncover your creativity!
 

Perfect for beginners

Whether you’re interested in drawing lessons, sip and paint classes, learning botanical drawing, or photography classes in Brisbane you will find a variety of art classes for beginners. You don’t need to have been to art school, be in the Brisbane art scene, or waste time typing “art classes near me” into Google, all you have to do is head to ClassBento and choose an art class near your location.

All art classes are taught by local Brisbane artists and crafters which means you will be learning from some of the most creative and inspiring people in Brisbane. Most of the classes are held in groups which makes them a good option if you’re searching for fun corporate team building activities, classy hens party ideas in Brisbane, or are just looking for something to on the weekend with friends. Similarly, if you’re looking to host fun kids party activities why not consider one of the painting classes for kids, or the drawing classes for kids.

Our ClassBento gift cards also mean that you can share our art classes with loved ones as experience gifts. There’s no better way to spend a birthday or special occasion than creating at a fun art workshop together. For most classes, all of the art supplies will be included and all you need to bring is yourself and a dash of creativity.

Health benefits of art

There’s a big reason art has been around as long as civilisation: creating comes naturally to us. The mental health benefits of being artistically active are linked with self expression and can be an excellent form of emotional release. Creating art can relieve stress, increase brain function and stimulate creative thinking. It’s one of the most helpful tools to use if you need to slow down and express your emotions freely in ways that aren’t restricted by words.

Custom classes

Want to learn or experience something specific? You can easily contact our teachers and arrange a custom workshop at your preferred time and to suit your skill level.

If you’re looking for a unique and memorable event these workshops are perfect things to do with friends on the weekend, for aged care groups, team building exercises, indoor things to do, and kids weekend activities. We've got a range of teachers who cater specifically to larger events, and we can customise classes to meet your needs. Get in touch today and we'll put something together for you.

This was a lovely way to spend the afternoon doing an intergenerational activity across state borders. Niki has been really responsive from the moment we booked, helping untangle a booking error on my part, and making sure one of our kits was redirected.

This is a really convenient way to learn something new - everything needed was in the kit, and we were really pleased with what we were able to produce in a short time.

Highly recommend!

A wonderful class with great fundamentals and some step by step designs to get started. It was relaxing and enjoyable. Sophie is an excellent teacher!

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The pace was great - slow enough so you could take it all in, and relax with, but fast enough so you could create some beautiful designs. Such a wonderful idea, and a fun class to do with some friends or on your own. The teacher was absolutely excellent and explains herself so well.

What a great class. Sophie was engaging and supportive. She included everyone and was so positive! I really enjoyed the time and it flew by. Definitely learned some new pattern drawing tips. Looking forward to her doing more.

Watercolour Painting Class: Native Flowers

My daughter Lucinda did the course together! Was her First Mother’s Day present to her. I was surprised how much we achieved in 2 hours . Great clear instructions. Would have liked if the instructor could have zoomed in but know not possible. I made my gumnut picture into a birthday card for my son in law. He wants to frame it ( I said not that good)! Not so pleased with banksia , wrong shape and too much paint. Have not used water colour for a long time. Will be trying again! Thanks to the team. Could only submit one photo?

Fantastic class. I loved the interactivity but also the way in which Sophie helped us connect as a group.

The class was set up to ensure success at every step and I loved the end result of each project. I am not someone with particularly strong drawing skills - it didn't matter. I left feeling inspired and happy.

Nice afternoon, with a relaxed pace. Sophie demonstrated some simple yet effective patterns and we had the opportunity to practise a nice mindfulness activity. This class seemed to work nicely in the online environment. Thanks for an enjoyable afternoon, Sophie!

Fun class! Well structured and informative water colour session. The demonstrations and naration gave lots of ideas and techniques which I will be able to carry on using- not just a one off experience! Thanks a lot.

Great class. Please don’t stop doing zoom classes! I can’t get to a painting lesson otherwise and have learnt so much through these.

The teacher was so lovely and very positive, demonstrating techniques and giving feedback on my artwork. The only downside was i had difficulty layering my pastels, they didn't want to work over the top, may have been the paper used maybe look into a specific pastel paper. Overall i loved my session and had a great time :) a great starting point for pastels with a gorgeous, friendly teacher :) and i created a pretty cool artwork.

In my opinion, the steps were a little too quick but we had time to go back and work on the bits we wanted to touch up once the actual class was finished
