Creative freedom.
Skilled guidance.
A space to be themselves
Art classes for children who want somewhere to explore, experiment, learn and create — without having to make the same thing as everyone else.
At Art by Chelsea Anne, children are encouraged to follow their creative interests while receiving the support and guidance they need to develop their skills and confidence.

There isn't one right way to be creative.
Some children arrive knowing exactly what they want to make.
Others aren't sure where to start.
Some want to spend weeks developing their drawing skills. Others would rather build, paint, sculpt, experiment or combine a little bit of everything.
And sometimes a child simply needs an hour to switch off after a busy day.
All of those children belong here.
The classes are guided, supported and intentionally planned — but the creative journey doesn't have to look the same for every child.
So, what actually happens in class?
Each class has its own focus, but there’s always room for individual ideas.
Depending on the session, children might explore new materials, create something hands-on, develop a project of their own, or work alongside others on a shared idea.
Within that structure, they’re encouraged to make choices, follow their interests and make what they’re creating their own.
The aim isn't for every child to leave with the same finished artwork. It's for them to have been supported in exploring what they can create.
Creative Kids Classes
Ongoing group sessions
One-on-One Creative Sessions
Individual support and quieter creative time.
School Holiday Workshops
Special projects and creative experiences during school breaks.
Your child doesn’t have to choose one forever.
Children's interests, confidence and needs can change. They might also find that a different class style suits them as their interests develop.
That's why our group and individual sessions are designed to work together.
A child might normally attend group classes but book a few one-on-one sessions while they're developing a particular skill or project.
Another child might begin with individual sessions because they prefer a quieter environment, then decide they're ready to join a group.
The format can change when they do.
Freedom doesn’t mean they’re left to figure it out alone.
Each child is actively supported, with guidance adapted to their age, confidence, experience and what they're trying to achieve.
Sometimes that means demonstrating a technique.
Sometimes it means breaking a drawing into smaller steps.
Sometimes it means working alongside them.
Sometimes it means asking the right question and giving them the opportunity to find their own answer.
And sometimes it means recognising that the way we're explaining something isn't working — and trying a different approach.
Children are encouraged to experiment, problem-solve and take small creative risks, knowing they can change, adjust and try again.
Skills are taught in context — because learning something is often much more meaningful when it's helping you create something you actually want to make.
