If you're homeschooling in Perth and looking for ways to enrich your child's education with creativity, connection and confidence, you're in the right place. Whether you're just starting out or have a well-established homeschooling rhythm, adding art to your week isn’t just a bonus – it’s a brilliant way to bring your curriculum to life.
At Faire & Co, we run weekly homeschool art classes in Perth designed especially for kids who learn outside the traditional classroom. These sessions combine the joy of process art with meaningful social connection, making them a firm favourite with local families.
Why Include Art in Your Homeschool Curriculum?
Art is more than paint and paper. It's a way of thinking, exploring and understanding the world. Here’s why it’s a powerful part of a creative homeschool curriculum in Australia:
Creative Thinking: Art encourages kids to think differently, solve problems, and express unique ideas.
Emotional Growth: It provides a safe outlet for feelings, builds confidence, and helps with emotional regulation.
Fine Motor Development: Younger kids especially benefit from the hands-on nature of art-making.
Visual Literacy: In a world full of images, being able to interpret and create visual content is a valuable skill.
Cross-Curricular Connections: Art links beautifully with subjects like history, science and literature.
What Makes Our Homeschool Art Classes in Perth Unique?
Our North Perth and Kalamunda studios are warm, welcoming spaces filled with colour, creativity, and community. We focus on process art, which means there are no "right" answers and no pressure to create a perfect piece. Instead, kids are encouraged to explore materials, follow their curiosity, and develop their own style.
Our classes are:
Inclusive: All ages and abilities are welcome
Non-competitive: Focused on personal growth, not comparison
Social: A chance for homeschoolers to connect with like-minded peers
Guided: With Creative Assistants and facilitators who encourage, not instruct
A Weekly Creative Reset
For many families, homeschool art class is a highlight of the week. It offers a routine anchor, a change of pace, and a beautiful opportunity for children to reset and recharge. Parents often tell us that their child is calmer, more focused, and more inspired after class – and that it complements their home learning in surprising ways.
It’s not just about what they make, but how they feel doing it.
Building Social Confidence Through Art
One of the biggest concerns for homeschooling parents is social connection. Our homeschool art classes double as homeschool social activities in Perth. They bring together kids from different areas, ages and experiences, and create a sense of shared purpose and friendship.
With group projects, collaborative prompts and plenty of informal conversation, kids build friendships naturally. We see shy kids blossom, chatty kids focus, and everyone leave with a smile.

Each session includes:
A themed project or material exploration

We use high-quality materials, mix things up each week, and ensure there’s always room for choice. No two classes are ever the same.
