Create art class for adults at Revesby Congregational Church is set up as a social, creative environment where individuals can

• learn the basics of art in the area they would like to pursue and
• build up to feeling confident to come up with project ideas or try new things.

We enjoy morning tea in the middle of our time together, and we are most welcoming of new people.

Create art class for kids at Revesby Congregational Church has been running for around eight years now. Some of the students who came along at the beginning are all grown up, but hopefully they will remember their time being creative and having fun here.

Each term I focus on a different theme. This involves a medium (clay, paint, fabric, pencil, printmaking etc), a focus on a subject (birds, dots, colour, animals etc) or an art period or specific artist.

As the kids are having fun, they don’t always realise that they are learning the elements of art including tone, line, shape, colour, perspective, form, etc.

Each year is run according to the school year for both adults and kids. This means that there are four terms with 2 to 3 weeks break between and of course a longer break over summer.

At the end of the year I set up an exhibition, showing as much work from the year as I can in the church hall or foyer.

My goals for CreateART for both adults and kids are that they are able to enjoy exploring creativity in a fun, relaxed, no pressure environment where everyone is able to focus on what they love doing individually within each project.
