Jenni Onn offers regular art classes called ABC You Can Draw. I spent an enjoyable and relaxing morning with her and a small group of students improving my drawing skills.



Jenni paces the activities well and has an encouraging attitude. She believes we are all capable of doing art and that drawing skills underpin all other design and visual art talents.



All levels of skill are welcome to the classes and there is plenty of time to ask questions. In addition, all of the art materials and paper you need are provided, except for a clipboard.

The class I attended covered a range of exercises from simple warm-ups, drawing shapes and objects in 3D. We were led step by step on how to break up a face so you can draw one in the correct proportions. These lessons were tied together at the end with drawing a mystery image upside down. This technique helps you to bypass your inner critic and gain confidence.

Jenni Onn is currently a TAFE teacher with a strong background in the creative industries, so you're in capable hands. She's even illustrated for magazines and a series of children's books.



The current range of art class available include:
  • Unlock your Creative Self – step by step introduction to drawing faces and figures, creative techniques and how to see like an artist
  • Simple Skills to take you from Beginner to Next Level – drawing perspective and foreshortening techniques
  • Cartooning – fun and creative ways to play with the concepts of cartoon illustrations
  • Book Illustration techniques – how to write a children's book, or work as a publisher's in-house illustrator (practical advice from someone with first-hand experience)
  • Fashion Illustration – have fun with vintage fashion concepts and try your hand at drawing frills, fabric and lace

  • Jenni Onn also offers a range of other classes in magazine production, creating websites, digital illustration, photoshop and creating email newsletters.

    The classes can be booked on their own or as a package (three classes booked together at Stafford will save you $90). There is a discount for attending with a friend too.

    The classes are currently being held at Brisbane Fitness Empire, 3/37 Windorah Street, Stafford and Brisbane Visual Arts Community (BVAC), 140 Weller Road, Tarragindi.

    Bookings are essential.
