Young Adventurers 9 to 12 yrs

During the week you will learn a variety of skills to build up to creating your own personal graffiti-style picture. You will explore the artist Banksy, look at a range of Graffiti Tags and fonts, all the while exploring which suit your personality best.

We will use a range of medium throughout the week such as charcoal, chalk pastels, pencils, felts and paints.

All materials will be provided for you but if you have special paint brushes or pencils that you would like to work with please do bring them along. Also, please do bring along any examples of other work you have done - it would be great to see during the first session to understand You more as an artist!
