Fine Art Courses
These are intended to help budding artists learn to draw. She is a keen artist and believe everyone can learn to draw. Drawing can provide endless satisfaction and awakens the senses allowing for a deeper appreciation of one's surroundings. It can also be an immensely peaceful pursuit, providing a relaxing compliment to academic lessons. Rhiannon is happy to teach children of all ages. It is never too early to learn to draw! Classes will be half an hour - an hour in length, depending on the age of the child. Other artists' work will be used as inspiration to help the child/young adult see what can be achieved and how their ideas can progress.
