Advanced Art for Children

(Invitation Only)

I am excited to introduce this new group, designed to provide my more advanced students with additional creative opportunities. The focus will be on developing advanced techniques and working towards creating more dramatic pieces to enhance their portfolios. 

 

Several students have expressed a desire to pursue creative careers and continue their artistic studies at the university level. This group will offer a valuable opportunity to strengthen their portfolios and further refine their skills in preparation for those aspirations.

 

We are also exploring the possibility of organising museum and gallery visits, as well as a potential trip abroad to enrich their artistic experience.

Core materials provided,

(larger canvases, elaborate project materials, visits and trips may incur extra charges).

 

Term Time:

Sundays *1 SPACE LEFT*

The Studio, Cheltenham
