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.

At Art Club this term the children have started by making a clay model each which has been painted, and then glossed to make it strong and to stick on any bits that need it.  The group have been able to choose which model they would like to make and some have chosen to make a model of an animal whereas others have made small pots.

After this the children are able to choose what they would like to do next and some have already started on different projects which they will continue alongside progress with their clay model.
