Our After-School Art Program is designed to make afternoons easier for busy families.
We offer school pick-up from selected Chatswood primary schools, where children are safely transported to Welight Art Space after school. Once they arrive, students are placed into the most suitable class based on their age, experience, and artistic ability, allowing every child to learn at their own level.
Classes finish at 6:00 pm, giving parents the convenience of collecting their children after work while they enjoy a fun, creative, and enriching afternoon.
In these art classes the students will:
• Develop and extend foundation skills
• Be introduced to a variety of new artistic topics and themes
• Explore and experiment with different techniques and media
• Build the foundation to develop his or her own individual artistic style
Discovering Art (4-6 years old)
In this engaging class, students will learn to draw their favorite animals, characters, still life, vehicles and more while learning fundamental art elements: line, shape, texture, color, value, and space. Our fun projects are geared towards developing drawing and painting skills within each theme, while also encouraging individual creativity and expression. Each student works with his or her own vision and produces a unique finished piece.
Explore Art (6-9 years old)
The goal of Explore Art class is to give students additional time to complete their art and embellish it by combining different media such as glitter, paint, pencil and colored pencils, watercolors, acrylics, markers, and other imaginative items. Students will learn new techniques such as layering, texture building, and more.
Mastering Art (9-12 years old)
This fine arts class is intended for students who have intermediate drawing skills and are looking to learn more sophisticated artistic techniques. Students in the Mastering Art class are ready to advance their skills to create more three-dimensionality and realism in their work. Projects include animals, nature, still life, cartoons, human form, various master artists, and landscapes. Emphasis is placed on shading, perspective, composition and developing finished pieces. Students will be encouraged to develop their own style and creative approach.
