Overview
Art Encounters children's program provides young people with a variety of options and contexts in which to learn art and develop their creativity.
We offer classes to children who are highly interested in learning how to draw, paint and express themselves using a visual medium. Children who attend our programs develop confidence in their art making skills and are often the best art students in their schools.
Our school is a haven for creative kids of all dispositions who have this passion for learning about how to make effective art by learning to draw and paint properly. Classes contain a busy and productive environment with lots of interesting conversation and active creation of the projects at hand.
Curriculum
Art Encounters structures its year to follow a general school curriculum which is subject based. Within each subject framework, classes are developed according to each course and the age or level of the students.

Teachers
Art Encounters employs fully qualified teachers who have completed a degree in fine arts at a leading institute. It is our preference that all of our teachers also have a serious art practice of their own to be an example to the students. We also employ assistant teachers who are currently studying fine arts and have experience dealing with children. All of our teachers have a current police check and license to work with children.
We maintain a good teacher to student ratio of 1:12 with a class size maximum of 20 students in which case we will employ 2 teachers and an assistant to ensure that all children get adequate attention.
Our teachers are passionate about passing their own skills onto the younger generation of people who are interested in pursuing fine arts. Art Encounters is fully committed to its teachers ensuring that they enjoy teaching as much as our students enjoy learning.
