After School art classes
Complimenting the core curriculum for learning, The Creative Collaborative work with Schools to provide an after school art class, offering children the opportunity to express themselves and their creativity in a fun, relaxed and safe environment.
Our ART classes are artist-led weekly one-hour sessions following the School calendar, during which we will study various art and creative techniques where children can experiment with mark-making, texture & colour- gaining a good understanding of application using a variety of materials- from acrylic paints/watercolour /collage/ chalks/ inks etc.
Our projects are usually 4 - 6wks long, we study the work of a famous artist as our inspiration for our art piece such as a painting on canvas, pastel study or sculpture At the end of the project each child will get to take their artwork home!
Research indicates that art experiences can impact positively on confidence, self-esteem, personal, social, emotional development and behavioural health.
Key stage 1 & 2 (5 – 11 yrs) - 1 hour a week per term - Class size: 10 - 25 children
Creative sessions
The Creative Collaborative supports teachers to build lessons aligned with the required curriculum for art and design. With our professional knowledge as trained and working artists we can provide innovative ideas and structure, combining varied techniques into one lesson.
