Our Gold Coast art classes are designed to allow your mini-artist the opportunity to explore a broad range of media and techniques throughout each term. Children will have fun exploring the power of their own imagination and discovering how to put their own twist on some practical art techniques, while learning how art can be used as a tool for calming, focus and self expression.
Artlis Studios is back!
Due to COVID-19 our studio classes are smaller, but our imaginations are not! Our holiday workshops and term 3 classes are booking now!
Artlis Manifesto
We paint with our hearts, instead of our minds.
Our art shows our soul instead of just lines.
We create without burden of judgment or fear,
And encourage our friends to be themselves here.
The aim of our painting is not to be praised,
or to gain special marks like “Distinctions” or “A’s”.
We create to have confidence in mind, self and heart.
We create for ourselves, so we know who we are.
At Artlis Studios our teachers believe that having a healthy creative outlet can help with confidence, resilience and self awareness which in turn leads to safe decision making and increased motivation and strength for achieving goals. We make it our mission to help your mini-artist find their creative confidence.

Some studies claim that the effects of the Alpha state can last for days in children and can include the following benefits
