Summer : Tuesday 19th April - Saturday 16th July 2022

What to expect

This is a formal drawing & painting course for children aged from 9+yrs with a view to sitting an art entrance exam for schools, applying for a scholarship where a portfolio of art work must be submitted or if they want lessons in smaller grouped sessions.

The course consists of drawing & painting, watercolours, acrylics, pencils & pastels will be explored. We will look at drawing techniques: measuring for drawing accuracy, shading & composition. The course is taught in very small groups.

Over the years we have enjoyed excellent success rates with our students being offered art places at Holland Park School and City of London Girls & Northbridge House. 

​

*However, we cannot guarantee that your child will be offered an art place at your chosen school.

​

*please note this course is a portfolio building course, portfolios can be built up over at least 2 yrs, thus giving the student the time to produce a series of pieces suitable for a portfolio submission to secondary schools. This course is not a course leading to an art aptitude test, however, the skills taught within this course are aimed at building and strengthening a students’ artistic ability.
