Our Teen Creative Programme is a weekly fine art education for young people aged 11–16 who want to develop real artistic skills. Taught by qualified art teachers in small groups, it follows a structured, skills-based curriculum delivered through a rotating sequence of themed projects across drawing, painting, mixed media and clay.
Students build strong core skills – observational drawing, tone and chiaroscuro, colour theory, perspective and proportion – then learn to research, analyse and respond to other artists’ work – each term explores different artists and art movements – make independent creative decisions and refine their pieces to a finished standard. Along the way they develop their own personal style.
Because it is an ongoing programme rather than a short course, students grow artistically across months and years, building portfolio-quality work and developing strong foundations for GCSE, A-Level, college and beyond. Students can join at any point during the year.
