Whether your medium is oil painting, watercolour, drawing, pottery or even making jewellery, taking some hours out of your day to create some creative arts is an experience that can be not only fun but also relaxing. We paint, draw and create to process our busy life and all the stress and emotion that comes with it over the years.

If you're sick of following online youtube artist tutorials that never work or taking notes from a drawing book with a high price tag that doesn't explain things well, taking classes with a private teacher in Adelaide could be the experience you've been looking for! Our teachers are all artists with years of experience who love spending courses teaching their students not only the techniques to become a great artist themselves, but also sharing their passion for their craft.

What you can learn in private art lessons

Many people may think that the best way to become an amazing artist is to attend a prestigious painting or drawing school courses in Melbourne or Sydney or attending expensive workshops by famous artists in different parts of Australia. Not only does the cost of all of this add up, but in a school class or group workshop, students may get limited contact with their teacher during sessions.

By taking private classes with a Superprof you can forget about all of these problems and focus on having a great learning experience with every session. Because of our great range of teachers, you're sure to find someone in your local Adelaide area to give lessons in the medium of your choice. Here's some info about the different types of art you could study in your course:

Drawing: Drawing well is an important foundation for many other types of art, especially painting. During courses, you can work on your skills sketching objects with the right shapes, shading and distances, and you will find that your eye will improve over time. It will get easier to create a creative drawing whether on paper or other materials. There are so many things to take inspiration from, and this is reflected in the range of drawing styles from life drawing to pointillism to cartooning. Once you feel comfortable with the basics, you can ask your teacher for learning materials and classes or a workshop related to any of these special techniques.

Painting: From oil paint to watercolour, blending to cross-hatching, learning to paint means learning a diverse range of creative skills and techniques that, at first, could seem overwhelming to beginners or kids. Sessions with a more generalist teacher can help you learn about different types of paints, brushes, paper vs. canvases and more. If you want to specialise, you can look for courses with a teacher who has experience working with specific techniques like calligraphy or spray painting, or with a certain painting school, like Impressionism or Surrealism.

Photography: While many of us feel like professional photographers thanks to the amazing cameras on our phones, there's a lot more to take a creative photo. From lighting to composition, there are rules and techniques that can change a nice photo into a true piece of art. Students can use lessons with a Superprof teacher to t get a better understanding of how to take great photos, as well as learn about any important technical term, history of the medium and the equipment you need.

These are, of course, just a few of the exciting styles of art you can learn with your teacher during lessons and you can change styles as you like, a pottery session in Nov and a jewellery making class in Dec. How your classes work will also depend a lot on you! You can decide if you want lessons in your teacher's studio or in your home. You can choose whether you want lessons every Wednesday and Saturday for a month, or if you have limited hours in the week, one Sunday workshop every month for a year.

Some students may want a longer course that takes them from beginners to advanced in a particular set of skills. If you're an artist who already has the experience, but wants to move into a new field, you could organise workshops. Workshops can also be a fun way to spend time with groups of friends who want to do some art and craft together. You can book a lesson where you sip some wine and chat with friends as you paint. Anything goes and that's why classes with Superprof teachers are so great. You are completely in charge of what, when and where you want to learn in each session!

While it's not Melbourne or Sydney, Adelaide is one of Australia's best art cities and is home to some wonderful museums and galleries. Places like the Art Gallery of South Australia or the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute offer excellent collections in a diverse range of mediums. They often host events for adults and kids alike, like The Studio workshops, where kids can learn from exciting local artists, or talks and tours about their centre and collections.

If you want to have a little fun, there's a great range of places like Studio Vino or Vintage Van Gogh, which offer a group paint and sip experience. They provide the teacher and the materials, you provide the wine and the fun! There are creative walking tours, gallery openings and art talks happening all over Adelaide's city centre from Jan to Dec, so you can easily get involved in the local community of artists and make connections that might one day even lead to work opportunities.

Taking lessons from a Superprof teacher could be the first step on your journey to becoming the next Van Gogh or Tracey Emin, or it could just be a fun time where you learn and create for hours.
