10.00am -12.00pm From age 5 -11years
This is a very popular class for young children who love art. Every Saturday morning during term time we meet to have two hours of fun, informal, educational art activity. Young children need time to experiment with materials and explore this vast subject. As a qualified teacher I aim to encourage the children to gain confidence in their capabilities and develop their imaginations in their art. Some incidental art history is introduced so that the children become aware of art in context and appreciate different styles and movements.
Some of the activities include observational drawing, learning to use watercolours, and poster paints and discovering how to mix colours, effectively. We also use collage, and work three dimensionally using clay and found materials.
Some recent projects have included looking at the stone carvings in the Southwell Minster and then making clay heads to represent the Green Men in the Chapter House.
The Saturday Club also took part in the 'Big Draw' at the Minster and some wonderful drawings were produced.
This class is a drop in class and all materials are provided but a sketchbook is useful. Refreshments are provided.
Book a week in advance as places are limited.
