You might have noticed that your child is struggling with understanding or expressing what they need or feel. They may sometimes find it hard to put their experience into words so that they may avoid conversation with others. It doesn't have to be this way. Your child can experience how to be more creative and expressive with our carefully designed Mindful and Creative Art Class.
Mindful and Creative Art Class embraces and nurtures every child's inherent creativity.
Teaching your child to paint a perfect picture is not the primary goal of this class.
Your child will learn basic painting and drawing skills with a focus on self-exploration.
Also, they will experience how lines, shapes, colours and patterns can be used to intuitively express their thoughts and feelings.
Most importantly, it is relaxing and fun!Come and join Mindful and Creative Art Class!

Jing (Art teacher/artist)
Jingru began to learn art in 1998 and received a degree in graphic design in 2004. She founded her own art studio in Melbourne in 2013, where she spent 5 years teaching. After many years of teaching students to understand and create art, she found the essence of artistic creativity. She realised that students could be more creative when they were in touch with their own feelings, had awareness and were mindfully at peace. Art was the tool for practising these 3 fundamental skills, and she helped many students improve in these areas. For Jingru, the process of teaching art to students was a gift in itself.
Wendy(Art therapist)
Wendy has loved drawing, painting and playing music for over 25 years, even during her busiest times of study and work. After finishing a Bachelor Degree of Medicine in her home country, she completed a Master degree in Melbourne and became an Occupational Therapist. This led to a change in focus from " treating health conditions" to " improving wellbeing". While working as an OT for the past five years, she has long had an inner calling for integrating art with her work, which inspired her to do extra study in art therapy. As she slowly married art therapy and OT together, she discovered that the process of exploring a meaningful theme through art and converversation, could really open a new path of connection with herself and others. She enjoys every minute of her work!
When Wendy was still learning watercolour painting with Jingru, the idea of" running art class together for children" started as a little seed. After a year of planning, researching and testing on kids and ourselves, our dream of Mindful and Creative Art Class for Children is becoming a reality!
