About this course
Our Thursday home education class gives children aged 6 to 10 a proper, progressive fine art education in the daytime, fitted around home-educating families. This Autumn Term 2 course follows an autumn to winter theme, moving from the colours and textures of autumn into frosty, festive winter pieces.
Children explore drawing, painting, collage and mixed media with real artists' materials, learning new skills each week in a small, friendly group with other home-educated children. Taught by experienced, DBS-checked tutor Ruth Marsh.
