I offer very relaxed and calm lessons which allows children to focus and create art work with no pressure. All lessons are by zoom and there is no obligation to have the camera on if the child does not feel comfortable and a chat box to answer any questions if you feel a little bit shy or anxious to speak.
I provide Art lessons which are curriculum based where there is some input, maybe on a particular Artist , Art History or Art skill such as pencil skills or a particular art project and and then every lesson allows the child to express their creativity using different mediums such as oil pastels, paints, collage, pencil or chalks. I love to use lots of different mediums and be as creative as possible!
Each term looks at different aspects of Art such as Colour, Textiles, Sculpture pattern, Texture , Printing, Form, Space and all the different art fundamentals.
I have a lot of experience working closely with children, I am very patient and understanding and I am every aware that every child works at their own level and has their own level of understanding so I am happy to adapt the tasks to the child's needs.
In my Art with Wellbeing lessons we look at emotions through colour and research artists who create emotions in their work and use music to show shapes and patterns that resemble emotions. I use a form of Art or Art therapy in all these lessons.
