Monday after school art club

CANCELLED Unfortunately this session will not be running during the June/July term due to low numbers of bookings. Please keep your eyes peeled for future art club sessions though. ** Please note the addition of flexible drop off and pick up times to accommodate different school finish times and travel times. ** Monday after school art club runs with a drop off time between 3:30 - 3:50 and pick up between 4:30 - 5:00 every Monday term time (we follow the Derbyshire term dates) at Milestone studios in New Mills, and is for any child who loves being creative and exploring all types of art. The first 20 minutes will be relaxed warm up sketches, time for snacks, and an introduction to the lesson plan, and the final 20 minutes will include tidy up and quiet sketching. We will be using a range of art materials, usually following a different theme each term and occasionally abandoning this theme for specific events happening in or around New Mills. Previously this has seen all children creating art to enter for Hayfield Pro Loco competition, creating posters for the One World Festival in New Mills, or painting footprint decorations for The Tent People festivals. Children will learn techniques and develop their art skills as well as their confidence. From painting, drawing and sketching to sculpting and model making, each child will learn techniques suitable for their age and ability, so although ages may range from Reception class to Yr 6, activities will often be instructed for their age groups. Children can bring their own snacks with them to eat at the start of the session whilst we discuss what we will be doing (I know how hungry children get after school!) Sibling discounts have been applied for two children, if you have more than 2 children wishing to join please let me know so I can add this option too. Artist Pippa is DBS checked and has an appropriate levels of First Aid training.
