Art School in Sydney, NSW

Sydney Art School:
Sydney Art School is an an Independent School for Visual Arts located in the Baulkham Hills area of Sydney. We provide Art Classes and Workshops in the Hills District. Because of a deep personal love of art and enjoying exploring all forms of visual art, we created an art school to help others share the pleasure of discovering their own personal creativity. Classes are available in painting, life drawing, drawing, figure painting, creative jewelery, impressionism & modernt art. Our art school is designed to cater for all levels of experience, from beginners to experienced artists. As a student at Sydney Art School you have the opportunity to learn from a variety of tutors with a diverse range of skills and perspectives. This engages you in a wider range of learning experiences and accelerates the development of your artistic ability. Our art class sizes are small because having well credentialed tutors is not enough. You also need to get time for personal instruction.

Our goal is to nurture and develop the artistic talent and creativity of our students.

We do not compromise the quality of the artistic instruction for school student artists because they are children. We view them as "artists in training" who need guidance, instruction and practice on specific aspects of art.

Each School Student Short Course is carefully structured to address the 3 fundamentals areas that are needed for the complete development of any skill, namely:

Do I Understand What to Do?
This part of the course provides the theoretical knowledge and historical context of the artistic skill being studied.

Can I Apply My Understanding to Practice?
This is the part of the course is where the student applies and develops the skill being taught. Techniques and practices across a broad spectrum of styles, subject matter and media.

Do I Enjoy What I am Doing?
How is the student artist "connected" with their work? Is there a message to the art that they are producing? The more a student enjoys and their art the faster will be the progress.

Each School Student Short Course is planned over a 5 week period. At the end of each course the student will create one major art work in addition to drawings and paintings produced during the weekly lessons.

Our tutors are amongst the best artists in Australia with credentials and qualifications in fine arts, visual arts or education. Regardless of your level of experience you deserve to be taught by an artist who can provide professional instruction, comprehensive notes and supplementary material. Our tutors also provide refreshing new ideas in art education that are already being followed by some of the more established art schools.

Art Classes and Workshops. Classes are available in painting, life drawing, drawing, figure painting, creative jewelery, impressionism & modernt art. Suitable for all levels plus portfolio preparation for entry to tertiary fine arts diploma or degree.
