ABOUT THIS COURSE
In this course, we’ll explore a wide variety of unique artistic techniques.
Each animal will be created using a different technique. Each technique develops different sensory and visual skills in the child. Each lesson is explained in a way that’s accessible to young children. With simple step-by-step instructions, anyone can do it!
We’ll create nine vibrant works using various techniques:
1. A friendly elephant
2. An African zebra
3. A vibrant cheetah
4. A hedgehog with leaves on its needles
5. A fashionable poodle
6. A beautiful butterfly
7. A cute fox
8. A little chick
9. A ginger kitten

Please note!
Due to school holidays starting at different times in different states, I’m using average course start and end dates. If any of the lessons fall during your school holidays and you’re unable to attend for this reason, I’ll provide an opportunity to use a recording of the lessons. You can also make up any missed lessons in a nearby group during the same week (lesson topics are repeated on Wednesdays and Thursdays during the same week).
