Turn your students' drawings and photos into an enrolment channel
Art classes and photography courses have an advantage few sectors share: every student produces visible work. Nex helps you turn artwork, exhibitions and outdoor shoots into enrolment content, filling children's summer art classes and Block V & H exam-prep classes before aptitude exam season.
- Children's drawing and creative art classes
- Block V & H exam-prep schools: figure drawing, colour composition and layout
- Sketching, watercolour and oil painting classes for adults
- Digital painting and illustration classes
- Foundation photography and smartphone photography courses
- Product, portrait, wedding photography and Lightroom post-processing courses
The challenges you're facing
Nex understands the operations and enrolment realities of fine art & photography.
Great work that nobody sees
Student paintings hang in the classroom and photo series sit on the teacher's computer; the fanpage only posts course start dates.
Block V & H exam prep crammed into a few months
Year 11 and 12 students only look for figure drawing classes as aptitude exams approach; if you're not visible early, you miss the whole season.
Photography courses end and that's it
Foundation students don't know there are portrait, product and post-processing courses to follow, so they never come back.
Parents struggle to judge progress
In children's art classes, parents can't tell whether their child is learning properly or just colouring in, so they're quick to stop when life gets busy.
What Nex does for you
Four solution pillars, designed specifically for fine art & photography.
The work is the content
- Timelapse videos of the drawing process, comparing first and final pieces of the course
- Children's art exhibitions and student photo exhibitions, filmed as short documentaries
- Block V & H exam-prep campaigns that start early, from the first term of Year 11 and 12

Frequently asked questions
Can we post young students' artwork online?
Only with parental consent. Nex helps the centre build a consent process from sign-up and can post just the artwork, without the child's face or full name.
When should we start enrolment for Block V & H exam preparation?
Be visible from the first term of Year 11 and the start of Year 12, as students need months of drawing practice. Nex schedules content and ads around the aptitude exam dates of target universities.
Do short photography courses need ongoing marketing?
Yes, because short courses need a steady flow of new students. Nex combines before-and-after content, outdoor shoots and follow-on course series to bring past students back.
How do we show parents their child is progressing in art class?
Keep a portfolio from every lesson and send parents a regular side-by-side comparison with the teacher's comments. It also makes great content for parents to share.
