25.01.2022 This week we looked at what we could create with the things we have at home. Some papercraft techniques along with A4 printer paper, recycled card and paper, pens, pencils, tape, scissors and a glue stick - we had trees springing to life and owls and kittens appearing from unlikely resources. Great creativity from a very tired bunch of artists who had just run cross country races that day! Well done everyone :-)
25.01.2022 Our Thursdays Art Class looked at the mural artwork in progress at the AH Bracks Library+Creative Space by local artist Kyle Hughes Odgers. What a wonderful opportunity for these young artists to be right in front of the artwork and immersed in its surroundings - minus the rain! We also read Kyle's beautiful book "One Thousand Trees" in class and imagined ourselves playing and hiding amongst the trees.

21.01.2022 Art Classes for Term 3! Reserve your spot now! email me [email protected] ... and get creating in our Thursday Afterschool Art Term Class. Very pleased that The Art Branch has a few new leaves growing after the dramatic pruning by Covid 19. Interestingly here's what the number 3 signifies in numerology...looks good for Term 3! Number 3 Meaning. The numerology number 3 resonates with creative self-expression, social interaction, and optimism. The numerology number 3 is about creative expression. ... And it supports and encourages the creative expression of others.
21.01.2022 Vibrant Rainforest Imaginings from our young creatives. Love the rainforest on the back of that gorgeous green dragon!

19.01.2022 The Ghosts of technical drawings past...autocad just doesnt have the personality of this old set of drawing instruments. I had a fantastic tech drawing teacher Mr Wilson at James Hargest so my drawing board days werent always about art.

16.01.2022 It was a dark and stormy night...it certainly was last night at our first " The Professor and the Artist" an art history lecture by Emeritus Professor Richard Read and an art class with me. First time painters created some brilliantly dramatic skies over x2 hours - All this and a glass or two! See eventbrite for our next event on March 26th 5:30pm - 8.30pm at the AH Bracks Library + Creative Space, City of Melville.

12.01.2022 Have a quick look around you,almost everything in the room where you are sitting started as a drawing or sketch of some kind. From the chair you are sitting on to this computer screen sitting on a desk inside your house it has all been designed and then drawn up. Its quite a huge thought to consider just the amazing amount of artwork that surround and affects us everyday...

06.01.2022 Curiously Colourful Creatures from Wednesday's artists. I can't wait to see what happens next week!
05.01.2022 Inspired young artists at this very first art class for Term 3. We talked about all of the things we missed during lockdown including the wonderful Fremantle Street Arts Festival that was sadly cancelled this year. By imagining ourselves as street performers we made our own festival and illustrated it in Quentin Blakes style. Great to be back in the studio with these young creatives I cant wait to see what they do next! #freostory #infreo #quentinblakehq #freostreetarts #creativemelville #kidsartclass #perthartclasses #kidsartstudio #perthkidsart #kidsactivitiesperth #ahbrackslibrary #jacksonsdrawingsupplies
03.01.2022 a very curious and hungry cat was putting on the pressure as I had a go at gyotaku - printing with an actual fish!
02.01.2022 The Ghosts of technical drawings past...autocad just doesn't have the personality of this old set of drawing instruments. I had a fantastic tech drawing teacher Mr Wilson at James Hargest so my drawing board days weren't always about art.
02.01.2022 Art Packs sent home with last weeks artists - keep up the creativity and maybe teach someone in your home how to do some of the art projects we have completed in class. Vitamin Art - its good for you!
02.01.2022 Coral Bomies from this weeks art class - magnificent colourful miniature reefs. This project makes me wish we could magically transport the class up to Ningaloo! imagine all the wonderful sights inspiring these young creatives...
01.01.2022 AC/DC High Voltage Artwork! These young artists were at the Highway to Hell event on Sunday and are all big fans of AC/DC! The Art Branch is actually located on the Highway to Hell so how could we resist the inspiration to make some art today listening to some serious rock music and creating these beauties. Rock on young creatives!
01.01.2022 These magnificent fish and their flamboyant luminous fins are every ball gown I'll never wear but are just so enticing. Hope to be back in the Creative Space soon with this art class for you big artists to create your own wonderful artwork. Get in touch to reserve a spot, can't honestly say when we will run this class - keep flattening the curve everyone. Something to look forward to as we get back to normal :-) Jules
