Term courses for Kids (aged 5+)
Our courses for kids aged 5 to 12 years are structured for different age groups and stages. Kids learn about artists, art history and art genres while being in a relaxed and nurturing environment. While many of our young students come for fun, some use their Art Est portfolio to enter selective creative high schools.
Enrolments are now open for Term 1 courses, 2024. Running from 1 February – 27 March, there are a range 8-week courses on offer.
