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.

Learn Sumi-e Painting - Ink Painting



Such a relaxing time. Your voice was so calm and encouraging. I had fun and learned some skill (that I now really need to practise).

Naomi Byrnes

Learn Abstract Painting



I really enjoyed the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, felt free to quietly sit and play with paint and listen to the different possibilities. Hearing about the artist who puts her surfaces out in nature inspired me to play a bit more with that after class. The message I took away was the possibility of continually layering and layering and layering over time. Thank you for the nurturing environment and encouragement to experiment, use affordable/free materials and have fun

Leah was so friendly and welcoming.
This was a birthday present for my wife and Leah was so patient and so thorough that we went over time and didn’t even realise it as we never felt rushed. So proud of our end result and we will have such fond memories of Leah and our beautiful when we look at our work of art! We highly recommend any of Leah’s classes and we look forward to our next one.
