Ages 7 to 15 | 10AM to 3PM | July 7th & 8th
Art Camp
Your child is invited to two content-packed, yet relaxed and mindful school holidays workshop days, at the beautiful Tamworth Community Centre. Drop the kids off for 5 hours each day, and they will have plenty of opportunity to learn, play and improve their skills with dedicated, experienced artistic educators; a wide array of high quality artistic resources and materials; access to fresh air and exercise in a grassy courtyard, and opportunities to socialise.
Kids will have the option to attend 6 different workshops from 4 professional artists over the two days.
This Art Camp’s specific workshop details will be coming soon. Previous Art Camps have included:
Kite Making
Sculpture
Flip Book Animation
Paper Puppets
Outdoor Painting
Manga
& More
We understand that not every class is for every kid, and so kids also have the option to…
Choose Your Own Adventure
Use the schools resources, such as figures, books and materials, to make a masterpiece your own way, while enjoying the company of other little artists and guidance of the teaching artists.
Exercise Breaks & Games
We understand kids can only concentrate for so long at a time – so, every hour and a half, we give them the chance to completely forget what they’re doing, and run and play outside for twenty minutes or so. When they return, they have the option to continue what they were doing, or focus on new skills. This combination of variety, choice and rest allows kids’ minds to stay fresh and engaged over long periods of time.
The Community Centre has a large grassy courtyard, with shady trees, where the kids can play with provided bats, balls, skipping ropes, etc, or just enjoy a snack under the shade of the trees. We will also occasionally run exercise and drama games throughout the breaks.
Food
Light food provided, such as sliced fruit and bottled water.
Kids to bring their own lunch.
Teachers on the two days:
Danny Stanley
Sophie Honess
Logan Hughes
Ava Clay
