Welcome to the art academy

At the Karen Symons Art Academy students will learn various forms of art throughout the year, with a piece to take home after every lesson.

After 15 years of teaching art at a school, Karen Symons became fed up with the ‘1 piece per term’ system they had in place, where students would spend 10 weeks creating something that could have taken an hour or two.
Enjoyment is the number one goal with every lesson. With so many opinions and judgement at every corner of the art world, the Karen Symons Art Academy is the best place for students of all ages to have fun creating a painting that they want to create, while learning along the way.
