After School Art Classes

🎨 After School Art Classes – Term 4, 2025

Give your child the chance to explore their creativity, make new friends, and build confidence through art!
Our After School Art Classes are a fun, supportive, and inspiring way for children to unwind after a busy school day while learning real art skills in a professional studio environment.

Term 4 runs from Monday 13 October until Thursday 18 December 2025, finishing with our much-loved Christmas Party celebration.

Classes are held from 4:00pm to 5:30pm, with sessions running Monday to Thursday:

• Monday & Wednesday: Two separate groups — Kindy to Year 3 and Year 4 to Year 6.
  This structure allows younger students to enjoy projects suited to their developing fine motor skills and attention span, while older students are challenged with more complex techniques and creative problem-solving.

• Tuesday: High School students.
  A relaxed, open-format class encouraging experimentation, personal projects, and advanced art skills.

• Thursday: Primary School class (mixed years) — a wonderful option for families with siblings.

🖌️ What We’ll Be Creating in Term 4

Term 4 is packed with exciting projects designed to build skills, spark imagination, and develop artistic confidence.
Students will:

• Create beautiful collages using their own hand-printed papers.

• Draw intricate still life artworks with ink, adding patterned details and soft watercolour backgrounds.

• Model with clay, learning the basics of sculptural form and texture.

• Paint glowing glass lanterns, perfect for end-of-year celebrations.

• Use lightboxes to trace, paint, and explore layering in art.

• Examine a single object and represent it using a range of mediums, discovering how each material tells a different story.

Each project combines creative exploration with structured teaching, ensuring children develop both technical ability and individual expression.

💛 An Inclusive and Supportive Space

At yellowhouseart, we believe every child deserves the chance to enjoy art in a way that feels safe, welcoming, and accessible. Our classes cater to children with a wide range of neurotypes and learning styles, and we take pride in creating an environment where each child can thrive at their own pace.

We understand that some children may need time to rest, regulate, or take a sensory break during class. That’s why we’ve created a special area called the Quiet Zone — a calm, comfortable space where children can go if they’re feeling overwhelmed or simply need a moment to reset.

Our teachers are experienced in supporting diverse learners and use gentle, flexible approaches to help every student feel included and confident. Whether your child is a deep thinker, a daydreamer, a hands-on maker, or somewhere in between, they’ll be welcomed and supported as part of our creative community.

Our after-school program is designed to meet children where they are — guiding, inspiring, and celebrating every creative milestone. Whether your child dreams of becoming an artist or simply loves to make and explore, they’ll thrive in our colourful, community-minded studio.

All of our art teachers hold current Working With Children Checks, ensuring every class is conducted in a safe, supportive, and professional environment. Our team is made up of experienced artists and educators who are passionate about nurturing creativity and helping every child feel confident and inspired. Parents can relax knowing their children are learning in a caring, well-supervised setting where safety and wellbeing come first.
