A two-day creative journey where young artists learn how to transform real observation to bold abstract art.

Led by artist Heena Kim, these workshops are designed for ages 7-16 (Y3-Y11) and offer a fun and inspiring way to spend the Easter holidays. We explore exciting art techniques, build confidence in their creativity, and take home their own finished artworks.

Day 1 - Draw & Twist

We explore how to observe and draw from real objects, then experiment with layering, distortion, exaggeration and composition using a variety of drawing materials, including markers and oil pastels. Through guided techniques, they discover how to “twist” what they see into something imaginative and expressive.

Day 2 - Paint & Transform

Using acrylic paint, students develop their playful ideas into a vibrant final artwork on canvas. We explore colour relationships, brush techniques, and expressive mark-making to create a confident, finished piece to take home.

This programme encourages:

• Creative risk-taking

• Confidence in personal expression

• Understanding of abstract art

• Development of drawing and painting techniques
