Content for term 4
Our senior class is just getting stronger and stronger, so I would love to do some drawing from life with still life including flowers and a range of musical instruments, we will draw a guest sitter again and teach the classical techniques for observational drawings. The focus for observational skills this term will be on drawing in proportion, creating forms and shadows and designing a composition. We may use any medium, graphite, ink or charcoal. I will bring in some new materials to surprise and challenge them.
Skill developed: Materials used will include pencil, or pen and ink, charcoal, graphite and paper. If students wish to include colour they will need to bring these materials. I have some colour pencils but if they wish to work with paints or pastels they will need to bring their own materials.
Class size is strictly limited to 8 allow for adequate individual feedback and assistance. I endeavour to make sure every student will receive personal attention and guidance at a pace and level they are capable of absorbing.

New Class
Enrolments start soon Children from 9 to 11 Wednesday class Drawing For Fun: Animals and Dragons 16th October - 4th of December 2024 4.30 to 6pm. (shorter time for class for younger class) Using the well known method of introducing observational drawing to young and older children, Manuela will be teaching the MONART technique to help children see and draw the world around them. This term we will start with animals and dragons and learn the visual alphabet to see shapes and lines in what we see. We will draw with pencils, markers and watercolour. Materials will be supplied for drawing and painting. Lower price for younger class $400 for the 8 week course. Limited numbers of 10 students. 
About the School A unique opportunity for creative teenagers interested in learning and developing drawing skills in realism are offered at The Brisbane Street Art School, Launceston with Manuela Pilz as the tutor. We have also started a new class for children who are keen to draw too with a fun introduction to drawing. The Drawing Academy for Young Artists is a weekly class for aspiring young artists with a desire to train and further improve in the style of realism. This new endeavour is ideal for teenagers who have a passion for art and wish to advance in their skills in the visual arts. Venue
The Attic Studio Level 2 or 1st floor for Wednesday classes. The Brisbane Street Art School Brisbane Street Arcade Launceston, Tasmania This school, founded by Leoni Duff Tasmania’s master pastel artist and painter, is situated in the oldest historic building in Launceston and is a highly regarded and established centre for studying the visual arts with an emphasis on learning from great artists past and present. How important is learning to draw?
Drawing is a necessary fundamental basis for all art forms including animation and concept design, graphic design, architecture, sculpture, industrial design, and representational painting. Animation and movie studios value artists trained in the classic tradition. Even Walt Disney encouraged his animators to regularly go out and sketch outdoors from life. 
How to apply:
The criteria for entrance will not only be an ability to draw but more importantly evidence of a curiosity and desire to develop and try new skills. To ascertain this, a face-to-face meeting with a series of drawings or portfolio and/or sketchbooks will be arranged at the beginning of the term prior to course commencement. The interview dates are stated on the schedule above. To ensure your place on this date, a booking by phone or email is needed. Contact Manuela Pilz at [email protected] for arranging interviews and for bookings. For more information you can contact Manuela or Leoni at [email protected] Mobile: 0466662712 
Who should apply:
Any young artist 11-21 year olds. No previous experience in classical drawing is required but applicants that can demonstrate an existing commitment and passion for drawing and will enjoy a thorough yet exciting drawing programme are encouraged to contact us. 
Mission and Tutoring with Manuela Pilz
Our purpose is to train students in the skills and techniques associated with creating images that appear real to the viewer. These courses will be skills-based programmes which will give students a core body of knowledge in representational art by the age of 18. The tutor, award winning artist Manuela Pilz, will guide students through various drawing techniques and exercises that are a derived from her own personal art training and experience gained in Australia and abroad. Through Manuela’s combined experience as an English Teacher at universities and an Art Teacher for children, teenagers, and adults, she will provide a professional level of art tuition to the successful applicants.
