Intro to Anime Drawing (9+ y.o)
Second Week of ACT School Holiday
8, 9 and 10 October (3 consecutive days)
12.30 - 3.30 pm
17 Condamine St, Turner

Anime is such a unique style of art that has been around for decades, and still very popular among kids, teens and adults today. Many children who love reading manga books or watching anime shows may want to create their own characters, or simply learn how to draw their favourite characters. In our 3-days Intro to Anime holiday program, we will show drawing techniques to achieve the distinctive anime/manga character look, and use tools and colouring markers. Join our Saturday afternoon Anime club after completing!

Intro to Realistic Drawing (9+ y.o)
Second Week of ACT School Holiday
8, 9 and 10 October (3 consecutive days)
9 am - 12 pm
17 Condamine St, Turner

Many kids become frustrated and lose interest in drawing around 9-10 years of age as they move from imaginary and cartoon-style drawing to wanting to draw more realistically. Over three mornings, we’ll show your child how to make the move from cartoon to realistic drawing. We’ll cover how to really “see” an object, how to break it down into simple shapes and contour lines, how to create form through understanding shading and value, and how to position and draw objects in relation to one another.

A few weeks ago, we talked about Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”. Then we asked the kids to recreate the famous artwork using their favourite character/their own characters. We got so many fun artworks as the result. Just look at these!

In week 7 of term 2, we introduced our artKids students to Joan Miró, the late Spanish artist famous for turning tricky or complex things into simple and playful shapes. We also discussed the difference between geometric and organic shapes. Then we asked the students to cut out organic shapes from colourful paper and created characters using collage method, inspired by Miró’s work 😊

They had so much fun imagining and creating their own Dr. Seuss-inspired characters using watercolour pencils for the first week. On the second week, we used colourful paper to create “Dr. Seuss City” collage.
