Term 2     Introduction to Painting, Drawing, Sculpture and Mixed Media 5-7 Years

These classes will consist of specific guided activities that focus on offering a wide range of creative experience, developing confidence, the imagination, and skills in following instructions and solving problems. The classes encourage experimentation, with a focus on group and cooperative learning and creating. We will make collages, build things, make sculptures and puppets, paint and draw. The classes will give young children the opportunity to develop their imagination, dexterity and fine motor skills, while having fun, all a vital part of a child’s cognitive development.  
We will look at art from around the world, both contemporary and historical, so that children will begin to get an understanding of the rich and varied cultural heritage that they can inhabit. Classes will range from focusing on traditional art practices in developing objective and observational awareness, along with the practicalities of working with traditional materials such as paint and mixing colours and how art materials work together, to the experimental; working with different materials and found objects, with the focus being on developing the imagination.

Term 2 2024    Painting, Sculpture and Mixed Media for Young Children 5-7 Years

We will explore different ways of painting and drawing, making collages, sculptures, puppets, and other three-dimensional objects.

In Janns classes she focus's on helping children to develop their self-confidence and imagination and their independence of thought. Children will be encouraged to take the initiative and think for themselves. They will also be encouraged to work together cooperatively and learn to follow instructions. The practical processes involved in these classes will help to develop dexterity and practical skills that will help children in all other learning environments.
