Making Pictures is a fun introduction to art for kids ages 6 to 10 years. Children will be exposed to different styles of art, a colour explosion of paint and other mediums. The course topics can include kiwiana NZ, animals, birds and a few landscapes thrown in the mix. Our teacher, Amber will teach the basics of drawing and painting.
What happens in the class:
The children will use various mediums such as paints, pastels, dyes, graphite pencils and more.
Using a step by step process, kids will learn layout and composition principles.
They will be learning new techniques using paint brushes and sponges.
Our tutors are both supportive and encourage the students to put their own individual spin into their artwork.
Children usually complete 3 to 4 projects per terms, depending on the group’s advancement.

Zelda T. (A review from my daughter, July 2024)
“I have learnt many more things about art during these “Making Pictures” classes with Amber at Uxbridge. Her teaching skills and care for me is extraordinary and the finished result, always outstanding! Her skills of teaching art is amazing and learning from her is always fun. She has taught me many different techniques in art. One thing that I like about Amber’s classes is that she uses different mediums for every unique piece of art. Another thing that I like about Amber’s classes is that she is proud of my work no matter what. I enjoy Amber’s art class massively and she is one of the best art teachers I have ever experienced.”
