Why are you different to other art classes?The Arty Farty Way, refers to our way of creating. Its focus is on the process of creating and not the end result. We want everyone to inject their own creative ideas and imagination into their work. Our job is to teach students how to use the mediums and shapes to create a finished object and then show them how to create the base of the inspiration project. Once the basic form is complete and painted, artists can then embellish their project with their own flair and imagination. They must still use the mediums discussed and be encouraged to use restraint when embellishing, as not to take away from their base project. We don't want every project leaving to be an identical match, we want each child's personality to shine through their artwork.

Why do you take photos in the studio?At the Faire & Co studios, we want to make sure everyone feels comfortable, respected, and full of joy. We understand that capturing memories is an exciting part of our creative journey. So, to keep things fun and casual while respecting privacy, we've put together our awesome photo policy. We kindly ask all our students to agree to it and join in the creative fun! Snap with Consent: We believe in capturing smiles, laughter, and those epic art moments, but only with your permission! No sneaky shots here! If you're not feeling the paparazzi vibes, no worries! Just let us know, and we promise to keep our lenses away. Share the Magic: We love showing off our incredible community and all the masterpieces created in our studio! With your consent, we might feature your artwork, smiling faces, and awesome creativity on our social media pages or website. Don't worry, though! We'll make sure to protect your identity and personal information. You're a star, and we'll treat you like one! It's a Snap-tastic Agreement: Before any camera clicks, we'll ask you (or your awesome parent or carer) to agree to this consent form. This form outlines how we plan to use the photos or videos and ensures you're fully aware of the magic we're about to capture. We want you to feel empowered and understand your rights, so take a moment to read and sign it before we say "cheese!" Boundaries Rule: Your comfort and happiness are our top priority. If you're not in the mood for a close-up or prefer to stay behind the scenes, we totally respect that! Let your fellow creative pals know about your boundaries, and we'll make sure everyone understands and supports your decision. Reporting Fun Police: If you ever feel like your photo was taken or used without proper consent, we want to know ASAP! Reach out to our friendly studio management, and they'll launch a top-secret investigation to fix the issue and keep our fun vibes intact.

How to your term classes work?Our term classes run for a school term, typically ten (10) weeks. In that time, we aim to create four unique projects (for our art classes), using different mediums and techniques. This allows our artists to dabble in a little bit of everything to see what they love or don't gel with. You take your projects home once they are complete and there is no time frame to complete a project in a certain time frame. Each artist keeps working on their project until they are happy to move to the next. Whilst you are in a class, our goal is to give one on one guidance to each artists as everyone has different skills, talents, confidence and as such, you will always need a little coaching, tips, pep talk, general chat or guidance on where to go next.
