Learn fundamental art skills in the group

Learn Fundamental Art Skills in the Group

As a group, the term begins with learning basic, important art foundations like observation, value (dark and light), shape, line, texture, and composition.

As we go through the fundamentals, kids begin improving their practice and building confidence as a group. Kids will be introduced to their own talent as well as the talent in the group.


Gallery excursions, arts venue experiences, and cultural involvement

Gallery Excursions, Arts Venue Experiences, and Cultural Involvement

In Melbourne, we have an industry standard, world class arts culture. At Paint With me, we bring kids and families out of the studio and experiencing Melbourne's arts scene with excursions, special opportunities with the Victorian Trust, and local North Melbourne art events.

We bring our sketchbooks and explore a variety of collections, exhibitions, and installations of impressive art history locations. We draw and sketch studies, and begin building an artistic identity in our own city.


End of Term Events

End of Term Events

For one night at the end of every term, we open the studio for the kids to exhibit their work throughout the term. This is a private event for parents to come and support their kid's creative output in the art world. This is to show all of the kids that their creativity is a worthwhile discipline to develop, and gives them each an idea of what being a professional artist means. We want each of the students to feel recognised for their achievements, and strongly encourage their confidence as an artist.


Paint With me is open for creative kids to learn, connect with other kids, and build creative thinking, confidence, and imagination guided in a working art studio with a professional artist teaching them week after week.
Give your child a head start on their artistic career with our professionally led drawing class! This isn't a free-drawing "bit of fun" class; we give your child all the age and skill-appropriate tools they need to build and develop the best drawing practices in the biz, all while building confidence, cultivating feedback/critiquing skills, and having a blast while doing so.
This is a weekly intro to drawing for kids aged 8-16. Classes run for 1 hour each Tuesday afternoon for the entire term.
The classes will cover all of the fundamental drawing techniques and will include weekly exercises on:
  • Basic character body proportions (faces, hands, gestures, and poses)
  • Perspective
  • Shading, depth, and dimension
  • Expression, mood, and communicating through drawing techniques.
Alongside these, each student will be taken through fun and engaging drawing activities to build traditional drawing techniques that will develop their artistic flair and style.
We will provide all the tools necessary.
