Teenage Art Classes

Unleash their potential today! Join our art classes!

Sadly the school art curriculum is not what it used to be. We are now stuck with hybrid subjects where one period needs to include, music, dance and art. This doesn’t leave enough time for any of these subjects. Teenagers tend to get stuck and leave High School with a diluted art education. Maybe your child’s school does not offer art as a full-time subject! Other schools, might expect your child to keep up with their rigorous art curriculum and your child is simply lost on where to start a sculpture or why they are failing drawing.

At Lillian Gray Art School, we meet your child where they are at whether they are absolute creative geniuses or just trying to meet a deadline.

We take great pleasure in seeing our students realise their creative potential and grow as artists. For prospective art students, we offer assistance in completing a portfolio, especially if you want to further your studies at an institute or University in Johannesburg or Cape Town.

It’s hard work to be selected to join Red & Yellow, Stellenbosch Academy of Design & Photography,  Vega or any other University to study Visual Arts or Design. Let us guide you and refine your portfolio to up your chances considerably.

Teaching art appreciation and Art History

We have an absolute passion for art history and art appreciation! That being said, we don’t do boring. We are known as visual storytellers. We engage our audience with cartoons, and various multimedia such as videos, and images. Our engaging art history classes will make you remember what you need to know to Ace your Art History exams. We believe that we do not study history to understand the past. We study history to predict the future, to gain an in-depth understanding of human behaviour and to learn from the key messages to transform our current world.

What is the structure of our teenage art classes?

The teen classes are structured around building a strong foundation of different techniques to allow students to express themselves creatively. This structured approach follows a comprehensive curriculum that spans various mediums, techniques, and subject matters. Teens will delve into an array of different projects that range from drawing, oil painting, and sculpting to printmaking. Through hands-on instruction and guided projects, students will learn foundational skills, experiment with different styles and develop their unique artistic voice. Our Teen classes also emphasise the development of visual diaries, fostering students’ abilities to plan, conduct research, and expand upon their ideas. Overall our teen classes provide a supportive environment for students to practice their skills and create art which reflects their individuality.
