Art Classes in Auckland for Children
These classes are temporarily closed for any activities.
Doing artwork is not just good for developing a sense of accomplishment and self-expression, but it also strengthens the ability to plan, organise and solve problems.
We mostly work on A3 size paper or card, but occasionally will work on A4 size. Depending on the progress of the students, we will endeavour to finish projects in time.
