drawing and painting classes for kids and adults
“There is an artist inside everyone - I’ll help you discover yours”
You ARE creative!
...or at least, you could be. Your brain is remarkably malleable and can be taught and trained to be more creative.
That's where I come in. I'm Anne Smerdon - award-winning artist and founder of the Artory art school. But it's not your average art school. You see, it breaks my heart every time I hear someone say “I can’t draw” or “I’m not creative.” The truth is, we ALL are creative and we ALL can draw. But sometimes we just need someone to teach us. And at the Artory, we specialise in teaching people that “cant draw” and “aren’t creative” to master any art medium.
We will teach you the techniques and tricks of the trade so that you can draw or paint any subject at any level of difficulty, even if you "can't draw a stick figure to save yourself." But we'll go further than that - we will motivate you, inspire you, push your comfort zones, engage your imagination and break your barriers to creativity
You are a creative fire waiting to be lit. You have all the fuel you need. Don't be too afraid to light the match!
