These classes must be booked as a block, ticket options can be chosen on our website. Weekly classes for young artists who are showing real interest in developing their creative skills. We take a step-by-step approach to cover a range of traditional skills such as drawing, painting and collage and students will use a range of materials including pencils, charcoal, oil pastels, water colours and acrylics. Each week we work on unique projects covering different themes. Students are encouraged to create beautiful artworks working from a variety of reference material, relating their practice to art history as they progress. The courses are led by Sophie Newnham, an experienced children's teacher with her own practice as a botanical art specialist. About Chiswick Art School We believe art should be a lifelong practice and everyone is welcome to join our classes. However, our tutors are experienced professional artists with their own careers and if your ambition is towards exhibiting and beyond we can help you get there. Chiswick Art School was founded in 2015 at Pavilion Studios, Dukes Meadows to provide instruction in art techniques and support for practising artists. Since then the range of courses has grown: we now offer oil and acrylic painting, watercolours, botanical art, sculpture, pottery, raku, drawing skills, portraiture, landscape and plein air, printmaking, illustrations, art for wellness and classes for beginners and children.
