Children and teenager’s classes

All new students will start by a 2 hour drawing class.

The first session will be observational drawing exercise covering measuring, proportions and many other basics, allowing our tutors to both instruct and observe levels of ability.

The initial 2 hours session give us, and the child a chance to get an understanding of how best to set a structure for the future classes.

After school and weekend

The classes provide a step by step guide to enable each child to develop their artistic skills and knowledge at their own pace. A combination of art mediums such as oils on canvases, charcoal, graphite pencils and pastels on paper, and collage work will be explored.

All children will learn the fundamental practices in fine art such as composition, perspective, tone, texture, contrast, colour theory, pattern and material manipulation.

Art scholarship Portfolio for school

This course is for children with a view to sitting an art entrance exam for schools or applying for a scholarship where a portfolio of artwork needs to be submitted.

Most schools will require a portfolio of between 8-13 pieces of works. We will recommend starting the classes at least a year before the submission deadline.

A level and GCSE Art support and Preparation

 This course is specifically tailored for students to both prepare for as well as be supported through A level and GCSE Art projects.

The course of Study will be individually tailored to the student’s needs.

We assist in:

-  Developing critical and reflective thinking leading to personal creatives responses.

-  Preparation of sketchbook and finished work, both materially and conceptually.

-  Introduction to core skills, processes tools and materials and how their choices apply to individual projects.

- Develop a visual language as well as an ability to evaluate their process, to develop a critical eye in their own work and the work of others, making connections through social issues and concerns.
