Welcome to Term 4 of Hands & Heart Kids Art! I am grateful to have the opportunity to offer this inspirational and educational container for our little budding artists.
Aim: The aim of Hands & Heart Kids Art is to provide an inclusive inspiring environment for all children to feel creatively confident. A space of exploration and curiosity without judgment where children learn new creative skills, build resilience, and connect with their peers
Outcomes: Children will grow and develop not only in creativity but personal confidence, they will have fun with their peers in a friendly encouraging environment.
Values that are actively encouraged:
Encouraging and friendly behaviour
Trying new and challenging things
Celebrating our authentic selves and each other
Patience, tolerance, and acceptance
Practicing creative courage
In my teaching of both children and adults, I encourage the mindset and perspective that art cannot be good or bad, it just is. And we can learn and grow and become curious about why we do things in certain ways with our artwork but we don’t judge them. If the student enjoyed the process or learned something new then it’s a brilliant, successful work of art.
I believe in the value of this program because I was once ‘that arty kid’. Sporty kids find their tribe early and have a multitude of opportunities to learn, as do our little musicians and dancers. Our little artists should have the same feeling of community and be given the same opportunities.
Students explore and learn something different most weeks with some subjects rolling over into the following week. They will receive their own visual diary at the start of each term, they are encouraged to use their journal at home or school and bring it to class to share their work. I encourage students to share and chat about what they have created and to encourage each other in class, fostering the mindset of appreciation and curiosity about their creations without judgment.
At checkout, you can choose to pay for the term in full or pay a $40 registration fee to hold your spot then pay the remaining class price with cash on the first day or set up a recurring bank transfer throughout the term.
