Weekly highlights & benefits
How the course works
Our Children's Art Programme follows a progressive 11-week+ course, with children attending one session per week on the weekday that suits them best.
Each week has a new focus and project, and the same weekly programme runs from Monday to Friday, so every child receives the same learning experience regardless of which day they attend.
Weekly highlights
- Weeks 1–2: Art foundations – mark making and drawing techniques
- Weeks 3–4: Composition and colour theory
- Weeks 5–6: Art styles and artist-inspired projects
- Weeks 7–10: Developing personal style and exploring different mediums
- Week 11 onwards: Creating original artwork and continuing to develop skills and confidence
More than just art
Children also learn to:
- Reflect on their creative process
- Explore ideas and techniques independently
- Build confidence through creativity
The atmosphere is calm, relaxed and inclusive, with no judgement and no single right or wrong way to create. Whether they dream of becoming an artist or simply love to draw, our programme gives them the opportunity to explore, create and grow.
