art-K is an art club for children. It takes children on an extraordinary exploration of art, culminating in many students achieving art scholarships at their senior school, taking Art GCSE, A level Art and then becoming assistants with art-K in their final 2 years at school.

The aim of the art group is to develop children's artistic abilities in a happy, safe and stimulating environment. Even at a very young age, it is amazing the results the children achieve. Once we have started to know a child we spend time thinking about projects that are appropriate to that child. When you visit the club for the first time you will see that many of the children are doing different projects, this is because they are all treated individually.

Our aim is for them to explore and experiment with a range of paints like watercolour, acrylics, pastels, inks and oils to develop their drawing skills in many different ways; try our many 3D activities; and above all keep them happy, motivated and continually developing.

As their artistic skills develop, they add these to their own natural creativity, and its lovely to see them gain freedom and confidence to express themselves in drawing and painting. If your child joins art-K you will soon have lots of lovely pictures, canvases and clay pieces to put around the house.

There is a Wednesday morning group specifically for home-schooled children, although they are welcome to come to any other sessions if they wish. We will also be running holiday clubs and workshops for adults and children's art parties.
