Art (10 to 16 years)
This art group is to inspire and also work on talents already found. We aim to guide the inner artist to be found by showing various mediums and techniques. Here is a list of what will be taught. We do like to be able to go with the flow which means some activities will go on longer than others. This all depends on the engagement of everyone attending. Activities which will be taught are: Abstract painting Mindfulness mandala painting on canvas bags with fabric markers Painting step-by-step landscapes and exploring famous artists and styles Mixed media – photography Life drawing Clay and wire sculpture Botanical ink drawings Mosaics Collage mood boards Sustainability and recycling projects Whenever we can, we will bring in working artists to talk to you about their journey and give live sessions. If you are an artist and would like to lead an activity to show YP what their possibilities are and to share your knowledge please get in touch.
Creative Well-Rounded Activity (7 to 9 years)
Stuart Mackenzie will lead this activity which will be full of an array of interesting topics for this age group - from learning about our world to creative writing, drama and history. All led in the way only Stuart can. He will capture your boy's and girl's imagination and lead them into a magical world some days and, on other days, he will take them on a history tale of what is going on at the time. At Christmas time, Stuart will talk them through how different countries celebrate it and why. They will get creative and maybe create their own Christmas story. This activity is endless, it will go wherever the boys and girls take it with Stuart's guidance.
