What are Multimedia Art Classes?

At Colour Inspired Academy, our Multimedia Art Classes give kids the chance to try many different kinds of art — all in one program!

Each week, children explore fun activities like:
  • 🎨 Painting
  • ✏️ Drawing
  • 🖍️ Collage
  • 🧱 Clay and sculpture
  • 🖼️ Mixed media (using more than one material in a project)
These classes are great for helping kids:
  • ✅ Build creativity and confidence
  • ✅ Improve focus and fine motor skills
  • ✅ Express themselves in healthy, fun ways
  • ✅ Learn to experiment and enjoy the process — not just the final result

No experience is needed. All materials are included, and every child goes home with their own unique artwork.

It’s a fun, relaxed space where kids can be creative, get a little messy, and feel proud of what they make!

🎓 Academic Art Education

By registering, your child is enrolling in an Academic Art Education program — a more focused and in-depth training designed for students who are ready to take their artistic skills to the next level.

In this program, students will:
  • Learn advanced art techniques
  • Develop strong sketching and concept planning skills
  • Study the foundations of art history and its influence on modern creativity
  • Build professional-level portfolios and participate in critique sessions

Participation in all Colourinspired exhibitions is mandatory, including our signature event:

🎨 Acrylic Painting Class

Beginner to intermediate

Instructor-led, hands-on class with step-by-step guidance

Welcome to the colourful world of acrylic painting! In this fun and expressive class, young artists will learn how to work with one of the most versatile and vibrant painting mediums — acrylic paint.

Children will explore basic colour theory, blending techniques, brush handling, and composition skills while creating their own original masterpieces on canvas or heavy paper.

Each session will be guided step-by-step by our instructor, with plenty of room for personal expression and creativity. We’ll practice layering, experimenting with texture, and even learning how to fix mistakes (a true artist’s secret!).

From bold landscapes to whimsical animals and abstract art, this class is all about confidence, creativity, and colour.

🧠 What Kids Will Learn:
  • ✅ How to mix colours using primary and secondary palettes
  • ✅ Basic brush techniques: flat brush, round brush, detail work
  • ✅ Painting from background to foreground (layering)
  • ✅ Light and shadow in colour
  • ✅ Creative problem solving and artistic expression

Every child will finish the class with a completed painting they are proud of — ready to take home or display in our studio’s mini art show!

  • ✅ Techniques for shading, texture, and realistic sketching
  • ✅ The foundations of perspective, portrait drawing, and composition
  • ✅ Fun art history tie-ins and outdoor sketching activities

From simple shapes to stunning still lifes and portraits, students will progress through a carefully designed curriculum that balances technical skills with creative freedom. By the end of the program, your child will complete a final project and receive a certificate of completion.

Let their creativity shine — one pencil stroke at a time!
