Huapai District School, Huapai

Our after-school art classes are designed to help children build both creative skills and confidence over time through consistent weekly practice.

Children explore a wide range of techniques including drawing, painting, colour mixing, design, and mixed media. They learn how to use different materials such as inks, watercolours, acrylics, oil pastels and collage to express their ideas.

Alongside these practical skills, children develop creative thinking, problem solving and the ability to make independent choices in their work. They learn to experiment, take risks, and trust their ideas in a supportive environment.

Over time, this regular creative practice helps children build focus, resilience and confidence — skills that extend far beyond the art room.

TERM 3 2026 - Sculpted Stories:

This term, students will explore sculpture and illustration, transforming everyday materials into fun, whimsical artworks.

Inspired by Dame Lynley Dodd, they will create expressive characters through illustration, and, influenced by Minu Freitag, turn illustrations into playful paper mâché sculptures. The sculptural creations of Simon Lewis Wards will inspire students to design their own small-scale artworks.

Throughout the term, students will experiment with storytelling, painting, sculpture, and mixed media to bring imaginative ideas to life.
