School: Art Encounters

Every parents knows their child has artistic flair.
But, to achieve their true creative potential, kids need to learn the basic skills of drawing and painting.
I founded Art Encounters in 1998 to provide a fun, supportive, and inspiring place where creative Melbourne children and adults could study art under the guidance of professional art tutors.
Art Encounters is now exclusively for young artists aged 5 to 18 and offers after school, Saturday morning and school holiday painting and drawing art classes for children aged 5-16. We offer a wide variety of adult art courses at Melbourne Studio of Art.
No previous experience is needed: Only a desire to create art.
Art Encounters painting and drawing courses give young artists more than the technical skills they need. For many, they are the beginning of a life-long artistic journey.
In fact, for many young artists, Art Encounters’ courses were the stepping stones to a career in Fine Arts, Graphic Design, or another artistic field.
Grateful parents tell me of the positive impact that learning to draw and paint has had on their son or daughter – from their schoolwork, their relationships with peers and adults, and their new-found maturity.
