Art Classes for children focus on exploration, play and self expression with real art materials. Children will be exploring the elements of art (line, space, shape, texture, colour, value, and form) with a variety of materials including paint, paper, clay, pencils, and pastels. Children will explore a variety of techniques such as print making, collage, painting, drawing and sculpting. They will combine materials and techniques to create from their own inner creativity and voice from given inspiration. Each class is an hour and a half. Your child/children will be in for a load of self discovery and experience-making as they will gently be guided through Art classes.
