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.
