🧸🎨 Childhood Friend Oil Painting on Canvas | Ages 9–14 Duration: 3 hours 📍 Monet Campus – 753 Centre Road, Bentleigh East All materials and art smocks are provided. 🎨 FOR KIDS Some things hold way more than just shapes and colours They hold your favourite memories! Long before anyone else, your trusty teddy bear was your very first best friend. Think of all the bedtime stories, long road trips, rainy afternoon adventures, and secret whispers you two shared! In this super fun workshop, we’re going to paint that exact magic! Using rich, colourful oil paints, you’ll bring a cozy, bright-eyed bear to life on canvas. We’ll mix up glowing highlights and fluffy textures to give your bear its own big, lovely personality. You’re not just painting a sweet toy—you’re creating a tribute to your ultimate childhood bestie! You’ll explore smooth colour blending, warm and cool tones, and the way light can make fur, eyes and fabric feel real. You can personalise the bear through colour, expression and small details, creating an artwork that feels connected to your own memories. This is not only about painting a teddy bear. It is about learning how an ordinary object can become meaningful through art. 👨‍👩‍👧 FOR PARENTS This workshop combines technical learning with a subject young artists can connect with emotionally. Students will develop blending skills and colour theory knowledge as they explore how warm yellows, soft violets and cool shadows work together to create form and atmosphere. Oil paint gives students time to mix, soften and refine their work, encouraging patience, focus and confidence. They will be guided by professional artist-teachers while still making independent choices about colour, mood and character. For families balancing work during the school holidays, the three-hour session offers a purposeful creative experience and a relaxed alternative to another day at home. It can also become a lovely artistic playdate—friends can paint together, exchange ideas, talk and enjoy the process while each producing something entirely personal. Places are filling quickly—secure your child’s spot today before the workshop is fully booked. Sometimes a familiar childhood friend becomes even more special when it is remembered through paint. 💛
