If you’re not sure about sourcing everything on the materials list, we recommend you bring along a limited selection of items from each category on the list. For example, bring along a few sheets of the recommended paper or one canvas board, only a few brushes, and a limited selection of paints. The first class is always an opportunity for you to talk with your teacher about materials and clarify what will be necessary when. If you still have any questions, please email reception and we will check with your specific teacher as to their recommendations.

If a class is cancelled by VAS we will refund the cost of the class or credit that amount to a future class.

We cannot offer refunds or credits for classes missed because of work commitments unless we are advised of these dates prior to the start of term, and up to half of the term.

The VAS art school follows the Victorian school term dates to the nearest week, with art classes also running on weekends.

Our terms start on Mondays and end on Sundays, with each term being between 9 and 12 weeks in length.

You can find future term dates here: https://www.vic.gov.au/school-term-dates-and-holidays-victoria

The VAS art school runs 4 terms of classes throughout the year as well as holiday workshops. Classes become available for booking 3 weeks before the start of that term, with first preference going to students currently enrolled in that class.

Each of our classes at the VAS Art School have a recommended materials list for students to use throughout the course—we recommend students source their own materials so that they can customise their kits to their own liking. To source your supplies for class, we recommend you visit a quality art supplier such as Seniors Art Supplies or Deans.
