Art Classes, Workshops and Tuition at Rachel Carroll Studio in Beacon Hill!

Northern Beaches Art Classes – painting and printmaking

School Holiday Art Workshops

(For Children Age 5 -13)

All Art workshops involve drawing and painting, some classes are just for sculpture. We discuss all elements of Art before we begin, for example, colour, form and composition. We then explore a similar artwork by Artists from around the world, Australia, Europe or America. A broad overview of how other artists create but also a historical element to explain the times they painted in. Which helps explain why they painted what they painted. And we have fun! We play Games & there are Prizes to win!

INCURSIONS

Rachel can come to your school and run a workshop in mixed media or encaustic.

Hi Rachel, We had a great time too and were very impressed with the work of the vast majority of kids. They showed some wonderful attention to detail and much better spatial awareness of body proportion, area used on the page and positions of body features than we were expecting. Aside from all of that though, the kids loved spending time with you. We look forward to having you in again! Thanks again, Tristan and Deepika (Kinma School)
