START Art Classes in Oxford teach drawing and painting courses for adults (and now children!) of all abilities but especially beginners. START aims to, well, get you started! Art lessons are practical and hands-on; you are encouraged to have a go and have fun. You can produce some amazing effects with just simple techniques. At the end of most classes you will have produced something with your own hands which you can take home and be proud of.
Please check the homepage for the latest START art courses running in Oxford. Most courses are 2 hour sessions that run once a week for 5 or 6 weeks. The subjects on offer rotate throughout the year and include:
Drawing (with pencils)
Watercolour Painting
Acrylic Painting
Drawing with Charcoal & Pastels
Card making
Making Jewellery (beading & wirework)
Illustration
Style-specific classes e.g. Celtic Art
In future we may start a regular Life Drawing class, if there is enough interest.
START art classes are run by Amy Letts, a professional, working Artist with a BA in Fine Art and 14 years of teaching experience. She has a genuine passion for art which she loves to share.
Teaching methods include presentations, demonstrations and project work. Painting Evenings are specifically teacher-led, step by step paintings with an emphasis on accessibility and enjoyability. StART believes in the principals of 'show don't tell' and positive feedback.
