Kids summer art camps

with artist Louise Cherry

Louise has been teaching art to children and running her summer programme of art camps for over 15 years. Louise likes to teach children proper art techniques with the emphasis on choosing projects that the children can actually do and complete themselves. The principle being that children can take pride knowing they made the work themselves. Louise does of course have a team of experienced helpers on hand to guide and give the little ones a help when needed. Louise teaches proper artist methods using proper artist materials. All material are provided. Projects will include; a variety drawing and painting, including still life, design, perspective, abstract and inspirational techniques as well as a number of crafts including, clay, papier - cache, blind painting, water colours, pastels and book making.

During the week, children will be split in to groups of similar ages and age appropriate art and craft projects will be catered for each group.
