Enrolled students at Melbourne Art Classes can practice in any medium. Some ask to commence (or continue) in Watercolours or in Oils which is fine, however, the majority starting out use Acrylic paints on canvas, due to the flexibility and fast drying times. Moving on to other mediums is common later as well.
Many genres are covered over the course of a student’s individual curriculum which they can plan themselves . Firstly, more realistic subjects are recommended to enable all of the foundation creative skill areas to develop rapidly. Once a student wants to move on to expressing more abstract or surreal concepts, their skill-sets are developed enough to enable strong, unique and meaningful artworks. (anyone who wants to create a decorative abstract can follow a Youtube tutorial as easily as a child could, as minimum skill is required).
I love the extra learning materials that allow me to continue developing and learning on my own at home between classes.

This year has seen the biggest leap in my creative path. I have really enjoyed discovering my inner artist. My job is so stressful, this is the perfect stress release.

“Jennifer generates an enthusiasm for art classes that is hard to describe. The depth of her knowledge in art history and technique is amazing, yet her real gift as a teacher is to make each student feel that they have something to offer, while guiding and challenging (with good humour) each student along the way in their respective journey. I could not recommend Jennifer highly enough.”

" Jenn's mother/child workshop at Melbourne art Classes was a wonderful experience. The day was so much fun! She is a wonderful, engaging artist and teacher and provides inspiring feedback in a clear and kind way. Leaving with a finished work made us both feel proud and accomplished. It was a lovely way to spend a day exploring a hobby with my daughter under Jenn's guidance. I would highly recommend this to anyone. My daughter immediately joined the junior group of Melbourne Art Classes and she loves it."
