It is so exciting when artistic talent appears at an early age.

We are keen to encourage young artists. These classes are for older children (9+ years) who are showing a more serious approach to art.

The classes focus on traditional drawing, painting and collage techniques, in an encouraging and non-competitive environment. The work produced can be used to build a portfolio.

Course Details

A step-by-step approach to cover a range of traditional skills such as drawing, painting and collage and students will use a range of materials including pencils, charcoal, oil pastels, water colours and acrylics.

Each week we work on unique projects covering different themes. Students are encouraged to create beautiful artworks working from a variety of reference material, relating their practice to art history as they progress.
