KidsArt! Art classes for children with art history gently woven in – term time weekly art classes, holiday camps, parties, private classes and scholarship preparation. Plus reviews of London art exhibitions and the KidsArt! Store.
Art classes are held at KidsArt! studios across London and Herts. Children learn to paint, draw, print, work with clay, sculpt, collage, use soft and oil pastels, and other core techniques, develop their creativity, and learn about famous artists and their styles.
Our core aim is to teach children to become confident and accomplished artists who take pride in their artwork, and to nurture and encourage an informed love of art. Children are given the self-confidence and skills to produce their own original artwork, inspired by a sound knowledge of techniques and a good background understanding of art movements over the centuries.
We provide a fun, stimulating and engaging experience and, over the programme courses, children build up impressive portfolios. Artwork is sent home as it is completed, accompanied by an illustrated factsheet which records what the children have learnt.
We cover a huge time range from prehistoric, through early civilisations, Medieval and Renaissance art, Islamic art, Mannerism, Baroque and Romanticism, pre-Raphaelites, Neo-classicism, Realism, the birth of Modern Art, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Abstract Art, Surrealism, Expressionism, Pop Art, contemporary art movements, sculpture through the ages, and art from non-Western European traditions – including American, Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Aboriginal artists. Where relevant, sessions reference current London exhibitions.
