NBCS Teens Art Club
7 Week Course – Term 4 2021

Join our fabulous artist and arts tutor Christina Frank as she guides you through a wonderful 7 week creative program. During the term students will explore a range of techniques/materials focusing on building foundational skills in drawing, painting, collage and modelling in clay whilst harnessing their own unique creative expression. We will draw inspiration from life & imaginations weaving in the seasons, nature, dreams and story. Participants will also get the chance to work on and develop their own projects from home.
Please note Term 4 Teens Art Club will be held online from the Sydney Art Space Studio via Zoom from 4.45pm-6.15pm on Wednesday afternoons for 7 sessions and the zoom link will be sent to you after your enrolment. Cost for the 7 week program and art pack is $375. For teens continuing from Term 3 they can continue to use their art packs and will need to only purchase clay for $15.

Week 7 – Dec 1

Sketch book
I intend that this course supports the students own creative journey. They should each bring a small sketch book with them, to record and develop their own ideas, dream up their own projects, and practice drawing. Sometimes in the process of art making there is waiting time, perhaps waiting for something to dry, or to take turns in using a particular process or piece of equipment. During these times the student can be using their sketch book.
