This art group is to inspire and also work on talents already found. We aim to guide 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 from 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.

Feel free to bring your instruments and jam with each other in this break.

Stuart will be in from 1-2pm to work with those who want to work on their Drama/Script writing before The Youth Club begins at 2pm.

Stuart is a trained Actor/Comedian. He has directed many plays, has an album on Spotify and has worked with YP on numerous occasions in schools as well as with theatre groups. Spiritus Youth Theatre Group aims to put on performances twice a year - Summer & Winter, to showcase to parents as well as perform to the public. Stuart works very closely with what ticks our YP boxes, making sure they are all engaged and getting something from the group. It may be confidence, it may be working on their skills and having fun in general. They will be asked what performance they would like ot work towards and be encouraged to work o their own script as well as improvise. This group will have YP acting/singing & dancing. YP will not be made to take part in all 3 if they do not want to. Yp will also be encouraged to bring in instruments they play to bring into the performances.

Jacqui & Martin Having feedback from young people, many want to be taught all about our world in its present form Where countries are, continents, what are the countries known for, currency and much more. This session will take a walk throughout the world map and also drop in how to travel there. It may lead to an adventure!! If you have a lot of knowledge in this subject we would love volunteers to come and talk about countries you have visited, or are from and how you travel. History v present time This is a very popular activity. Martin is one of those people who has a wealth of knowledge on many subjects. Martin brings in worksheets and talks to the YP about history, and brings it to its current time which makes it relevant to our YP. It is also led by YP in a way it can be easily diverted off the chosen subject and leads onto others conversations. Actively engaging and can lead to trips along the way. The session will begin with History v Present time and flow into The World Map

Global Perspectives is a gripping course that is both cross-curricular and skills-based and taps into the way learners of today enjoy learning, including teamwork, presentations and projects. The emphasis is on developing the ability to think critically about a range of global issues where there is always more than one point of view. Students use research, reasoning and questioning to gain this understanding and form their own judgements. It is an opportunity for enquiry into, and reflection on, key global issues from different perspectives: personal, local/national and global. The course is not about getting everybody to think identically; rather it is a matter of opening minds to the complexity of the world and of human thought and encouraging empathy for the diversity of human experience and feeling.

Stuart Stuart will be drawing on his personal experience of poetry and script writing to guide YP to use words in an expressive way. More information to add.
