GROWING WITH YOUR CHILD

Shared interests.
Different starting points.

Children aged 7–15 work at an appropriate level of complexity. A younger child might paint an imagined night sky; an older child might use light, shadow and movement to create an immersive artwork inspired by the stars.

Creative projects, shared ideas and opportunities to exhibit or perform finished work connect the subjects. The weekly mix changes with projects and age groups.
