Our art club is a fun and experimental space where children learn new techniques and skills inspired by famous artworks and artists. Our tutor Jodie, a practising artist with a professional background working in leading contemporary and modern art galleries aims to inspire children and unleash their inner creative. Previous drawing skills not required, just a love of art and an open mind. This term we are beginning by diving into Fauvism and Surrealism focussing on the artist Joan Miró and even looking at why his dreamlike patterned paintings managed to upset the establishment. We believe the young mind absorbs more when the hands are busy so all this newly acquired knowledge soaks in sideways whilst the children are working in their personal hardback sketchbooks, building sculptures and installations, being their own performance art or painting on canvas. All materials supplied by TFS, just bring an apron or old shirt.

A wonderful selection of donated deadstock designer fabrics will be available for the students to pick from to use, from designers such as Alexander McQueen, Brogger and Preen to name a few. Project Brief for Autumn 2024 Term: ​​Think of a location and an activity. It could be something from a film. Research and design an outfit that would be ideal to wear within this location whilst participating in this activity. What sort of fabrics would be appropriate? What type of silhouettes and styles make sense? What details should the garment have? How can the design reflect aspects of the environment and the activity.
