Calling all young artists in Grades 3, 4, and 5—welcome to Art Discovery! If you love to draw, paint, and create, this is the perfect class to unleash your imagination and explore the world of visual arts in a relaxed and inspiring space. In Art Discovery, we’re all about learning new skills, exploring, and experimenting! With a wide range of materials and techniques at your fingertips, you’ll get hands-on experience in everything from sketching and printmaking, to painting and mixed media. Our teachers are here to guide and encourage, helping you build confidence in your skills while learning how to plan and develop your own creative ideas. What could a typical class look like? One week, we might be sketching and printing, discovering the magic of textures and layers. Another week, we could be mixing and blending 15 shades of green to capture the depth of a rainforest scene. Maybe we’ll uncover hidden colors in shadows or experiment with creating 3D effects that make our artwork pop! This class isn’t just about making art—it’s about growing as an artist. Whether you're fine-tuning your drawing skills or presenting your work with pride, you’ll walk away with new techniques, newfound confidence, and a collection of artworks that truly reflect your creative journey. Ready to dive in? Grab your pencils, unleash your creativity, and let’s make something amazing! How many children are enrolled in a class? There are 10 places available to be booked in each time slot. We also reserve two additional spaces that may be booked by students who have missed a lesson on another day. We offer a total of 60 places each term in our Art Discovery age group. What age is Art Discovery for? Students in this class must be attending Grade 3, 4 or 5 (or homeschool equivalent) in 2025 to enrol in this class. How is the class structured? Each class begins off with a 10-minute observational drawing warm-up, sharpening our artist’s eyes and fine-tuning those sketching skills. From there, we dive straight into an exciting 45-minute art session, packed with hands-on projects that bring our weekly theme to life! Forget about setup, cleanup, or washing brushes—our artists spend every minute of class creating. Whether we’re layering textures, experimenting with color mixing, or mastering new techniques, each session is designed to build skills and confidence. As the term progresses, students will develop a personal portfolio filled with their artwork—an evolving collection that showcases their creativity and growth. At the end of the term, students will take home their portfolio of work. My child is interested mainly in drawing/sketching, is this the right program for them? Absolutely! Would you believe this is the most common question for our upper primary / early high school age classes? At this age students often love to get really good at one thing (much like an instrumental student who just loves to play the same song over and over!). Most often we find this to be drawing, as these are the art resources that the majority of students have easy access to at home or school, and tend to have the most experience with. You may notice the same character / drawing / animal/ landscape repeated across many, many artworks. While this repetition is fantastic at building both skill and confidence, it sometimes makes it a little bit challenging for students to try out a different type of art making. And this is what makes the art program at Flying Fox Studios so unique! The introduction to a wide variety of media by designing projects that will maintain confidence while at the same time building new abilities. Easy builds confidence, challenging builds skills, and a great program offers a balance of both. Your child's focus on one particular area will often flourish when they discover the wide world of visual art. As they grow in their knowledge of different types of art media such as inks, charcoal, graphite, paints, pastels and papers their artworks will gain new depth. They will grow, layer upon layer, what they already love with new skills, tips, tricks, and techniques they have gained from our fabulous and experienced teachers.

Term 2, 2025
Unit: Take a Line for a Walk
A single line can lead to endless possibilities! This term, we’ll stretch, twist, and swirl our lines to create 3D illusions, playful patterns, and expressive artworks.
Have you ever drawn something that looks like it could jump off the page? We’ll explore depth, perspective, and shading to bring our art to life.
With a mix of painting, sketching, sculpting, and even a bit of photography, we’ll experiment with materials like clay, wire, cloth, and plaster to turn flat lines into bold, dynamic forms.
Includes weekly observational drawing to sharpen and grow your skills.

A Guide to Enrolment At Flying Fox Studios, we carefully structure our classes to suit specific age and grade groups. To ensure the best experience for all students, enrolment in Art Discovery for 2025 is strictly for children attending Grades 3, 4, or 5 in 2025. This policy applies across all our programs, and we do not accept enrolments outside the designated age range. Our enrolment is based on a term commitment, meaning we do not offer fortnightly enrolment options. Trial Classes & Enrolment Timing We offer a free trial class, but please note that attending a trial does not reserve a spot for the term. If you are considering enrolling, we recommend booking a trial in the term prior to the one you wish to join (e.g., attend a trial in Term 3 if you’re interested in enrolling for Term 4). Trial classes must be booked through our office. Re-Enrolment & Class Availability All classes at Flying Fox Studios operate on an opt-in basis each term. Current students must re-enrol to secure their place for the following term, as we do not offer automatic re-enrolment. Due to the popularity of certain age groups, some classes fill very quickly. Art Discovery is one of our highest-demand classes, and spots typically fill soon after enrolments open at 7:30 am. To ensure fairness, we do not offer early or preferential enrolment—every student has four equal opportunities per year to enrol. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming your young artist to class! |
