Fun Art classes / courses in Sydney

Looking for fun Sydney activities that the whole family can enjoy? You should explore some of the fun art classes in Sydney.

ClassBento provides some of the most popular art-based Sydney workshops available. We’ve compiled lists of the best art classes in Sydney so that you can easily find something that piques your interest and invites you to try something new. With ClassBento art classes, you’ll learn from the best art teachers in Sydney - no matter the medium. You’ll love the passion and excitement that these teachers bring to the art classes that are quickly becoming part of everyone’s top 10 things to do in Sydney. Art classes are some of the more unique experiences Sydney locals and tourists can both enjoy.

Regardless of whether you’re an art expert or a total beginner, you’ll be able to find art classes in Sydney that are perfect for you. Try a fluid art class to get loose and create impressionist pieces. Or, learn the fundamentals of realistic portraiture in drawing classes or painting classes. There are art classes for kids, or you might opt for art classes for adults like a paint and sip class. If typography is more your style, you can even try calligraphy classes. All of our art classes are welcoming for different levels of experience and previous training, which means you can try your hand at a variety of new styles - from basic drawing to painting courses to still life drawing - and always have a great time.

Perfect for beginners

One of the things that makes these art classes some of the best things to do in Sydney with kids and people without much experience with art is that they are so accessible for everyone. We have students who have been to art school and others who have never even picked up a paintbrush, and everyone has a wonderful experience. Some of the most popular Sydney workshops for beginners include our fun sip and paint classes and our basic drawing, photography, or painting classes.

Not only are these art classes great for individuals looking to explore their creative interests, but they’re also some of the most fun things to do in Sydney in groups. Whether you’re looking for kids activities Sydney families can do together, or you’re planning a fun bridal shower or birthday party, you’ll find art classes that your group will love. Art classes also make great team bonding activities to improve workplace wellbeing, which is why corporate wellness programs often use ClassBento for their activities. With so many painting classes for kids, you won’t have to worry about school holiday activities in Sydney either.

Our art classes are inviting, casual, and informative. Your experienced art teacher will teach you all the basics that you might learn at art school but always with a desire to make the classes enjoyable and accessible for every participant. In painting classes, you may talk about colour composition while a still life drawing class may cover things like balance and shading, but all of the classes will be equally fun and allow you to tap into your creativity.

Health benefits of art

It’s time to let go of the melancholy artist stereotype. In fact, art is a mood-boosting activity that provides plenty of benefits. You’ll love the sense of calm and tranquility that you can tap into when you pick up a pencil or a paintbrush, and there’s also the satisfaction of watching your progress and sharing your art with your loved ones. The creativity that you start to build in an art class will carry over to other parts of your life, and you’ll love the positive effect art has on your overall wellbeing.

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.

DIY Christmas Baubles Painting Pouring Class

Leah was lovely & very encouraging- especially to someone like myself who hasn’t done anything creative for many years. It was a lot of fun & pleased with the end result. I went with a couple of friends & we all enjoyed the process & highly recommend it.

Chelsey was passionate about her art and expertly went through the steps to explain how to create fluid art and resin works. Studio was relaxed and full of lovely plants. Very welcoming, easy to do and most of all fun.

A very interesting class that showed me how to channel my focus into the intricate details of the art of zentangle. I really loved the shading too.

Mia Buys

Acrylic Paint Pouring Class

Leah was a fantastic teacher with a lot of experience and knowledge in acrylic pouring techniques. I thoroughly enjoyed the class, especially the guided meditation that helped us choose our colours. Leah was a warm and patient teacher, she made sure each student had a personalised experience. I highly recommend Leah and look forward to joining more of her classes in the future.

Learn Zentangle® Art

Another wonderful class from Niki. Her instructions are clear and easy to understand, and the ladies loved learning how to Zentangle and about the many different designs you can do.
A quote from one of today's participants: "Loved the Zentangle class today, good little skill to use to refocus. Reminded me of how much I loved doodling as a child."
Thanks Niki :-)
