Work will be based on OBSERVATION.

What happens? This year I will run 6 workshops for primary school age artists in year 4 or above. The focus is on developing painting and drawing skills. Children are encouraged to really look and see in order to develop their perceptual skills rather than painting stereotypical images. The max group size is 12 children. All Budding Artists need to be able to follow instructions independently while individual teaching in the round is going on; they should also be willing to help tidy up at the end of the session. Bookings are taken from the Monday before the workshop only on a first come first serve basis.
