School Holiday Art Classes
School holiday art classes, workshops and activities for children and teenagers who like to draw, paint and create art in Auckland, New Zealand.
Art is a fun creative activity that kids enjoy. Not only is art fun, but it builds fine motor skills in children, encourages problem solving abilities and develops social and emotional skills. Children love that there is no right answer in art, that they can explore and try out new ideas when making their own art creations. School holiday art workshops are a great way for kids to socialise and interact with their friends, and to make new friends with similar interests. .
