Taster Courses are a vital part of what we do. Children & young people who attend our Kidz & Youth Clubs across the district are given the opportunity to try something new, explore their talents, and build their confidence. We especially love that the art taster courses provide our youngsters with a safe space to express themselves in a creative way and develop a growth mindset. 

STEP 1 - SKETCH IT OUT

Work begins by exploring ideas and creating sketches. Learning to draft, self-evaluate, and re-draft ideas is a vital skill for art and life. Using canvas paper, our young artists can explore composition and colour before starting their final pieces.

STEP 2 - INTRODUCING THE CANVAS

Once ideas are honed and there's a final draft piece, it's time to transfer the vision onto the final canvas; laying down the final sketch and beginning the painting process.

STEP 3 - PERSEVERANCE PAYS OFF! 

Keep at it until you've finished! Wow - look at those masterpieces! We couldn't be prouder, not only for the outstanding work our budding artists have produced, but for the commitment, perseverance, and creativity represented in each finished piece.

We'd like to say a big thank you to the brilliant United Art Project team for joining us. You have been fantastic coaches for our youngsters, supporting them on a wonderfully enriching art journey. We know they have enjoyed it thoroughly...

I love expressing my feelings through painting.
