Children Group Lessons
We Make Great Art
Our children’s classes offer the aspiring young artist unique opportunities for authentic learning.
Every child is an artist in our eyes! At The Fort Studios, your children are challenged to think, talk and create, as artists do, creating high-quality artwork while focusing on process. Our experienced teaching artists design creative themed projects that guide your child to achieve polish in their technical skills, and develop maturity, independence and confidence in their art-making. Our open-studio approach encourages them to be responsible for their own learning, and allows their artistic voices to be respected, valued and honoured. No two children are the same, and no two artworks are ever the same!
We offer classes for two different age groups of children:
Eenie meenie
