You won’t find another Art class that is run by working artists with such immense passion to share their dedication and skills. You won’t find another art class where children will be creating a Fortnite character painting one day and a Van Gogh style textural landscape the next. You won’t find another Art class where students get to use stencils, acrylic paints, fabric paints, patterned papers and magazine clippings, textural scrap items, polyfilla, oils, inks, gouache and vintage photographs.
We like to let our students relax and enjoy Art. We want them to have the freedom to create what they want within guidelines. It’s hugely rewarding for students. Our portfolio preparation guidance has helped many young people gain scholarships to leading independent schools and for pupils who stay with us until Year 11 – their efforts are frequently rewarded A*.
Our newest tutorials provide a framework in which our younger students can still find the freedom to create what they want but at the same time learn about the theory and techniques within art. Our teaching method follows an open structure to create a sense of artistic independence and confidence, early in a project – with children of all abilities. This confidence then accelerates the pupils skills and fast-forwards them into an artistic space they never felt possible. You’ll never hear them say; ‘I can’t do it’ or ‘I’m rubbish at art’ ever again.
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." Pablo Picasso
The whole culture is telling you to hurry, while the art tells you to take your time. Always listen to the art.” Junot Diaz
