Art Courses for Children at Cowshed Studios
Courses for children during the summer holidays
Sunflowers growing in the garden or the chickens in their run will be used as starting points for mixed media work. The children will be encouraged to record what they see by means of drawing and then interpreting these into lively large paintings that may also have an element of collage. All children will be encouraged to experiment and develop their ideas in an individual way.
