Children's art classes

Children's art classes will begin at the Peninsula Community Centre in Woy Woy from Wednesday, July 25, to Wednesday, September 12.

The classes will run on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons for seven to 10 year olds and 11 to 13 year olds.

"I would love for kids to have a fun, creative afternoon where they come away with some useful art techniques and understanding that they can use later on, either at home or in their school work," said artist Ms Belinda Lindhardt.

"It will allow them to think a bit outside the box and have their own artistic expressions," said Ms Lindhardt.

During the full term students will learn about drawing, various strokes, using various mediums such as pencil, coloured pencil, pastel, watercolours, acrylic and collage in various techniques.

"We will learn how to draw from their mind and what you see, rather than what you think you see.

"We will learn about using colour and the colour wheel and how to use it.

"Famous artists such as Kandinsky will make an appearance and we will work on a group project and about looking objectively in a collective work.

"Consistently throughout the term I will encourage students to use an art journal.

"We will learn the fun of art journalling which I hope will set them up for their own individual self expression but also help them to communicate ideas and work out their own preferences when it comes to art with so many various materials and avenues that are available today," she said.
