LITTLE ARTISTS
TERM CLASSES

Little Artists

Little Artists

'Little Artists' classes are aimed at older children aged around 7-12 years old who would like to find and explore their own creative voice and build their confidence as an artist.

 

In these sessions we explore a mixture of different art practices including drawing, painting, collage, sculpture and crafts. These sessions may sometimes include text, story or an introduction to the work of a particular artist, but the focus is on developing an understanding of art, experimenting with different techniques and improving our artistic skills in a fun and supportive environment. Some projects are highly structured (e.g. guided painting), others are semi-structured and these are designed to introduce children to particular materials and methods of working. Others projects are looser in structure and therefore allow more freedom and individual exploration and interpretation using the vast array of materials available in the Storycraft Studio. We also do some craft projects, particularly ones with a design/artistic focus, so that the children have a good variety of activities during the term (slightly more craft projects in holiday seasons). Materials that we use regularly include acrylic, gouache, watercolour, inks, neocolors, pencils, charcoal, pastels, papier mache, plaster, clay and collage materials such as patterned papers and fabric.

The term may be themed around a topic e.g. under the sea, or incorporate seasonal projects, e.g. Autumn/Halloween/Christmas projects. Some terms we focus on a particular area of art or technique, e.g. blending colours or pattern. Often a project will span several weeks so it is helpful if children can attend as many classes as possible during the term. However don't worry if your child misses one class of a two part project, as either the materials will be prepared for them to complete the project, or when necessary an alternative is provided. Classes are held in English but some teachers speak some German as well. We have lots of children of different nationalities at our classes and everyone is welcome. Our classes are a great way to introduce children to English
