Art Classes for Children (8 - 17yo)
New term project: Animals in Art
This term is dedicated to the study of animals as a subject in fine art — exploring not only their appearance, but their presence, movement, and character.
Working across a curated selection of professional materials, students will experiment with acrylic, oil painting, soft pastels and watercolour — developing sensitivity to colour, texture, light and atmosphere.
Students will also be introduced to the fundamentals of animal anatomy in a clear and artistic way:
- understanding structure and proportions
- observing movement and posture
- simplifying complex forms building expressive and convincing animal images
Students will develop:
- confidence across multiple mediums,
- understanding of form, anatomy, and composition,
- sensitivity to colour, light, and texture,
- the ability to create refined, exhibition-quality artworks.
Term: April 30, 2026 - June 27, 2026
All professional art materials are included — paints, pastels, primers, surfaces, wet wipes, and finishing materials such as varnish and fixative to complete and protect each artwork.

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.
