Kids Art Classes – Term 3 Workshop with Liana Berry
24 July – 28 August 2023 | Vancouver Arts Centre
Calling all young artists! Join Liana Berry’s Term 3 Kids Art Classes at the VAC and revel in the magic of contemporary art masters in this exciting 6-week workshop for children aged 6 to 12 years.
Each week focuses on a different artist with time to explore the artist's style, colour palette, materials or technique. Children are encouraged to experiment, whilst developing their own style, with this class modelling a nurturing and strengths focused art-approach rather than being step-by-step instructional. This term will focus on artworks on paper and colour.
Classes start 24 July and will run for 6 weeks each Monday from 3.30pm - 5pm. The cost of the program is $90 and suitable for children aged 6 -12 years.
Limited spaces available, please contact the Vancouver Arts Centre to book your space and let your imagination soar! Email us at [email protected] or on (08) 6820 3740.
