Virtual Art Kids Course

Our art course is a great way to develop your child’s creativity. These virtual art sessions enable your child to get creative while home schooling and enable you to get a cuppa and a small breather! Each session will look at different techniques and subjects building a broad range of skills.

Each session is tutor led step by step through zoom a virtual meeting software which is free for you to download online. You will need your own materials and equipment for each session there is a general list below and Lisa will let you know each week what you need the week after.

This course will be different every time it runs allowing your children to keep coming and improving their skills and enjoying getting creative with us.

Each session will allow your child to see the other children taking part and the tutor and what everyone is making. It is up to you if you turn your sound and video on but we do recommend it so that your child's work can be monitored by the tutor and they can ask questions and show what they are doing to the tutor.

Please see the recommended age listed on the class is no age is listed we recommend the class for those aged 7 years and over - this does not mean that other ages cannot attend it is just guidance to help you pick a suitable class for your children or yourself.

If you have more than one child we would request that you purchase multiple places as we are limiting numbers to allow us to help everyone during the session. You can just have one device to show them all at the same time though so don't panic if your have five children and one laptop.

Each session will require you to have your own materials and equipment which are listed on the main section on this page and below.

Materials:
Paper
Pencils, sharpener & rubber
Watercolour paints
Water pot and brushes

You will also need a method to get online (phone, tablet, computer), a free download of zoom software and a clear space to work we suggest a kitchen table. desk or worktop. We recommend a table cloth being used for messy activities so check the descriptions for more information.

You will be learning at home so its yours to keep along with the skills you learn so you can carry on creating by yourself. If the session involves wet media such as paint you may want to think about where you are going to put your creations to dry after the session.
