If there isn't a class to suit you, please the waiting list.
Using inspiration from Japanese comic books, students will look at the ‘chibi’ style of drawing, in which the characters have small bodies, and oversized head/eyes/hair. Students will explore character creation, inventing their own style of character using watercolours and black markers to emulate the strong graphic ‘manga comic’ style. The aim of this lesson is to free the student's imagination and give them the skills they need to make art they can be proud of.
What will students take home?
Their very own cartooning sketchbook filled with drawings and plenty more pages to continue at home.
School Holiday Information
To ensure our students have a great time with us over the school holidays, we ask parents and guardians to please take note of the following:
- Students should bring a drink and a healthy nut-free morning or afternoon tea snack and their waterbottle.
- Please sign your child in and out 10 minutes before/after their session.
- Ensure your child is wearing appropriate clothing for a potentially messy art class.
- If your child has any allergies, medical issues or special needs, please make it known to us at the time of booking. Any medications must be clearly marked with your child’s name, photo ID and action plan.
- If your child is staying for two sessions (morning and afternoon), Art Est provides a supervised lunchtime break and will ensure children are safely escorted between buildings where necessary. Please ensure your child has a packed lunch and a hat and sunscreen. If weather permits, they may be taken to a nearby park during the lunchtime break.
Please read our School Holiday Frequently Asked Questions for additional information.
