Come & join our Young Creatives!
June/July Term - Starts Saturday 7th June until Saturday 12th July
Our Young Creatives club is especially for children aged 11 years plus. The class combines fun and creativity while developing technical art and craft skills. Each half term has a theme based project written by the tutors - recently we’ve had a go at pointillism, portraiture and print-making. In June/July term we will be focusing on…
Printing Techniques: Students will explore various printing methods, including tree bark and leaf relief, monoprinting, and marbling, to create layered, nature-inspired textures.
Cyanotype Art: Young artists will learn the Cyanotype process, using natural materials like flowers and leaves to produce sun-printed images, inspired by O’Keeffe's attention to flora.
3D Sculpture Making: Drawing from O’Keeffe’s sculptural sensibilities, students will design and build organic sculptures with paper mache, recycled materials, and natural objects, focusing on shape and abstraction.
Wire Flower Modelling: Students will create expressive wire and paper flower models, emphasizing form and movement, mirroring O’Keeffe’s floral studies.
Throughout the term, students will engage in close observation, independent thinking, and personal expression of nature, culminating in a mini-exhibition showcasing their explorations and creative voices.
WHO: Our Saturday Art Clubs tutors alternate between our 3 fantastic tutors.
We ensure the children create alongside merging artists who inspire and enthuse, trying out techniques and using materials that schools generally don’t teach until later years of High School.
Our Globe tutors running these courses are experienced teachers, with DBS and first aid training.
