We are very proud to be an Arts Award centre! Arts Award is a wonderful programme designed to inspire young people, encourage creative talents and develop leadership skills. We are currently offering the Discover and Explore levels as part of our alternative education provision, and it’s also a programme we can run with community groups.
Typically, we offer the award in a modular structure where participants explore a particular theme for 4-6 weeks, working with a guest local artist as part of their studies. The topic of the module is decided between the tutor and the young people taking part. Examples of topics include:
- Painting
- Animation
- Lino Printing
- Portraiture
- Photography
- Word art and comic books
- Clay and sculpture
- Contemporary art
