Art Club

At Art Club the main aim is to be have fun while trying a large variety of different arts and crafts.  The atmosphere is very relaxed with the current group being bubbly and lively – although occasionally in moments of deep concentration there is almost a hush in the room!

With the focus tending towards crafts, projects so far have included papier-mache models from dinosaurs to trouser bowls, from pulp masks to garbage gobblers; painting; weaving; jewellery making; creating stained glass effect hanging plaques and decorated face masks.

This year at Art Club we have had an unusually high number of boy members so this has changed the dynamics of the club making it a little less calm but a little more energetic, as well as changing the sort of work that has been being produced.  There are lots of large rocket launchers, light sabres and all manner of other futuristic weapon being created. There is also a Garbage Gobbler underway, an old favourite, and each of the children started the term by making and painting a clay model of their choice.
