What age is it for?

What will we learn?
We will enjoy exploring skills such as proportion, perspective, tone, composition and texture to create our own unique pieces of art.
This testimonial really explains our approach:
"They respond so well to your teaching style, particularly the fact that you are not prescriptive, and they are not expected to do step by step drawing. (I'm sure you know how demoralising that can be for kids when they struggle to get it 'right'.)
The positive messaging that you provide is really effective. The reminders about there being no such thing as bad art; the fact that people work at different paces; that it's fine to stick with the first section when the class moves on to the second section; and the encouragement to go off on a tangent if you have a different idea. These may seem like small things, but this holistic approach is so nurturing and provides a great environment for exploring and experimenting."

Course Curriculum
Emma Shannon
Hi there!
My name is Emma and I have loved art from a very young age. I qualified as a primary teacher in 2006 and soon discovered that, due to timetable restraints, there was not enough time dedicated to the arts at school. I was often seeing children with low confidence being taken out of a rare art lesson to do more maths and English.
I believe that we should value art as a subject more as being creative makes us feel good, increases our self confidence and helps us think in different ways.
As an artist and a teacher, it was the logical choice to bring my two passions together to create Go Sketch Club!
I believe in teaching children that there is no such thing as 'good art' and 'bad art', only art we like and don't like. Everyone likes different art! We celebrate 'mistakes' as 'opportunities' within the creative process.
Go Sketch Club aims to develop young artists into self confident, imaginative and creative thinking adults of tomorrow.
Happy sketching and hope to work with you soon,
Emma :)
"I highly recommend these classes, my almost 10 year old has grown so much in confidence in her art work since starting them. Emma makes the classes fun and engaging and as the numbers are small the children are relaxed and become more keen to share their work."
"I really recommend any of Emma's sessions. They have been amazing for Lewis, ray of light amid the lockdowns especially. He loves drawing but she has him really focused and engaged. Worth every penny." Rebecca Jayne Hawker
