FRANSIE PRETORIUS ART CLASSES

Discover Your Creative Potential through Art.

Part time art classes in drawing and painting techniques are offered in a large variety of media by well-known Durban artist and teacher, Fransie Pretorius.

“By making a study of art, it will help you to become more aware of the world around you and teach you more about yourself,” explains Fransie. “You will have opportunities to develop your technical skills and to explore your own hidden ideals and desires, which could become powerful tools in understanding and expressing yourself. Most importantly, you will discover and acknowledge your own value, build up self esteem and experience the sweet taste of achievement and self-realization through making art.”

If you are really committed to LEARN ABOUT ART, No previous experience is required. Fransie believes that all people have hidden skills and creative potential that can be unlocked and developed through right brain thinking. It is amazing to see how much each student improves after attending only a couple of classes. She is well-versed in teaching art at all levels up to tertiary level therefore more experienced artists will also benefit from attending her art classes. She taught a variety of subjects at DUT before retiring from her position as Associate Director in the Fine Art Department at the end of 2005.
