Art Entrance Exams


In Perth, Western Australia, several schools offer Gifted and Talented (GATE) programs, including the prestigious Visual Arts Program. To gain admission, students must pass a rigorous selection process that includes:


  • Drawing from a real object – showcasing technical skills.


  • Creative sculpture – demonstrating imagination and creative abilities.


  • Artwork description – analyzing and presenting art effectively.

After completing these tasks, candidates also need to prepare for an interview and submit a portfolio of their work.


Thanks to our guidance, around 20 of our students are currently enrolled in Perth schools under this program, having successfully passed the exam.


Our tailored approach helps students confidently showcase their talents and increase their chances of success.

Meet your art teacher


My name is Daria Sulgane, a proud mom of three and the founder of Art Classes with Daria, joyously celebrating our tenth anniversary in 2023. Originally from Latvia, I brought my artistic journey, adorned with degrees in Classical Fine Art and Graphic Design, to our cherished home in Australia.


For the past 12 years, I've poured my heart into teaching both kids and adults in the enchanting city of Perth, Western Australia. In this time, I've witnessed the magical, transformative power of art and had the privilege of guiding countless students.
