Painting and Drawing Techniques (CSC198)

Join us for this two-day course dedicated to the art of painting designed especially for younger artists.

What you will learn on this course?

Gain an introduction to traditional art skills such as drawing, working with mixed media and paints. Children will explore observational drawing and the techniques to produce a classic still life.

By the end of the course children will have developed their understanding of painting, learned new techniques and gained confidence with their art making, all within a fun and friendly environment.

Participants will be able to take their paintings home at the end of the course to show off to their family and friends.

Who is this course for?

This course is suitable for young people aged 8 to 14 years. It is open to all ability levels and does not require any previous experience. We provide a learning support worker and all our staff are DBS checked. Parents are not expected to accompany young people on the course.

The course is accessible for young people of all abilities who can participate in practical art and craft activities. A parent or carer may attend to assist the child if required; carers must book a complimentary ticket if attending to provide support. Please contact us to discuss your specific access needs. The room is wheelchair accessible.

Age ranges are set carefully to consider key age developments, materials being used and course stimulus. It is very important that age ranges are not too large or across key stages and therefore need to be adhered to.

Do you need to bring anything?

All course materials and equipment are provided.

Please note that lunch is not provided. Participants will need to bring their own lunch to eat on a supervised one-hour break.

Are there any additional costs?

There are no additional costs for this course.
