Art-K Smithdown

❤️ We LOVE our new art-K Smithdown Studio!! ❤️

It has been the most heartwarming start to the week seeing my students and parents (and passers by!) reactions to our expansion! Our new studio is wonderful! 🥳

We can’t believe how much space we have, and how much more room there is for creating art and making friends!

Here are a few snaps of the last day or so! Much more to share soon. 🤩

Come and join our community of artists. You can join the weekly classes at any point in the term. ✏️

🫟 We’re expanding! Brand-new studio, right next door! 🚪

I’m thrilled to announce that art-K Smithdown is moving to a larger, more spacious studio, just next door at 288 Smithdown Road! ☀️

🐹 Swipe for a surprise! 🧜‍♀️

We spent a lot of time at art-K drawing from 3D objects, as it is a wonderful challenge to see a 3D object and understand the lines and curvature needed in a sketch book to capture it in 2D. ✍️ It’s rather tricky!

After a few weeks of drawing animals, students combine their creature together to create their own ideas. ⭐

Although a mermaid was not in my animal box collection, this student asked to combine a hamster and a mermaid. She designed it then created it in clay. Isn’t it fantastic!! 🤩

There is still time to join my Weekly Art Classes, with classes after school and at weekends Tuesdays to Saturday. 🎨

🎨 Don’t forget to book a May Half Term Holiday Workshop! 🎨

It’s a great week or two to have your child or children be creative. Art is relaxing, calm and stimulating! 🌟

There will be projects available to pick on the day in watercolours, acrylics, clay, mixed media and more.

Sessions are 2 hours or 5 hours long. The full day 5 hour session has a one hour lunch break with art games - please provide a packed lunch, snacks and drinks will be provided throughout the day. 🍪

Sessions are led by me, Bella! I am a qualified art teacher and artist! 👩‍🎨 My studio is Ofsted regulated, a calm and happy place for all, and did you know that I can accept Childcare Vouchers too? 🌼

⭐ Artwork of the Week! ⭐

The smile says it all! A very proud student with her first ever art-K project to take home today. She has learnt how to group clan together for strength, roll out clay to the correct thickness, cut out her fish shape and stamp in patterns. Then also to paint into all the creases. 🐠

After a Trial class, we work on longer term projects, to build up skills at each individuals own pace. No pressure, no rush, just enjoyment and learning. 🎨

Do you know someone aged 6-16 years old who loves art? Try one of my mixed aged classes or 11+ classes by booking a Trial in the link in my bio. ☀️
