Drawing and painting classes, in Hamilton, NZ, with qualified teacher Kim Garside

NOTE:  If there is a lock down, and we are not allowed to go ahead with this class, you will get a FULL REFUND or choose another class if spaces are available
All Smilez art classes are the best in the area for boosting drawing and painting skills for kids.  At the end of each term, Kim reserves time for new students who are on the waitlist for regular after school classes.  Your child is invited to attend a trial class or workshop so that we can get to know each other.  Once an appropriate space comes available in a class/ age/ ability group, then Kim can notify you about the opportunity for more regular classes.

Once you subscribe to receive Kim's emails, you will automatically get access to some free video art lessons that she has made to get to you started.  In the platform you can attach your child's drawing from the lesson, and get direct feedback from Kim.

Aternatively, you are welcome to join one of the school holiday art workshops that are available.  School holiday art classes are usually longer, ranging from 2-6 hours and may be spread over more than one day.  These drawing and painting workshops are designed to teach skills that your child can build on, AND to provide you with really cool art that you can take home and hang on your wall.  

Art teacher Kim has experience teaching art for over 25 years. Kim's art classes are very small so that the students get the best experience and attention. The art studio is located in Chartwell, Hamilton, just down from the Chartwell Shopping Centre.  Click over to find out if any holiday art classes have been listed for the next round of holidays, and find out how to get on the list to be the first to know when they are ready for enrollments.


​Kim runs one-off drawing and painting workshops and classes for kids in her Chartwell studio every school holidays. 
Kim keeps her classes small for best results so your child can learn to improve drawing and painting in professional, caring art classes. 
​
Teaching kids how to draw and paint is Kim's speciality.  With 25 years experience, being a qualified Primary Teacher, and a mother of 20 years, Kim understands children and can help them in a short time. From quickly finding out where they're at, Kim builds on skills and understanding, boosting confidence and be proud of displayable art to take home.

How to draw animals would probably be most in demand, so Kim finds fun ways to show kids how to draw and paint animals based on a style or with new or mixed medium. These art classes for kids are very popular, so to make sure you don't miss out, make sure to add your name to the wait list to find out first.
