Join in the fun at the art’sKool holiday program! There’s a growing body of evidence that creating art isn’t just fun and enjoyable, but incredibly physically, emotionally and psychologically beneficial.
Artist and CEO of the Studio Gallery Arts Hub art’sKool, Kaz McGlynn, sees the incredible therapeutic power of art every day.
“Art is fun and it is used to improve cognitive and sensory, motor function, and to foster self-esteem and awareness. It also cultivates emotional resilience, reduces distress, and enhances social skills. When people take the risk of creating art and pottery with others in a fun and supportive environment it builds a strong community,“ she said.
The Ocean Grove based Studio Gallery Arts Hub runs regular sessions for children, teenagers as well as adults and those with diverse needs.
“There’s really something for everyone,” Kaz explained.
She is passionate about making her classes as inclusive and accessible as possible so that everyone is able to enjoy the benefits of creating art and pottery in safe, nurturing and profoundly inspiring environment. Disability funding is available for many sessions.
Kaz’s art classes and pottery classes are diverse, with students given the opportunity to experience various mediums including acrylic painting, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media and drawing.
There is also pottery sculpture, clay mould making and lots more. This gives students the chance to develop a wide range of skills and find out what mediums they most connect with.
The community-focused award winning art’sKool will soon be expanding, bringing classes to Torquay. The first Torquay art’sKool Holiday Club program will be running from the 14 – 16 of January and is open to children 5 – 14 years.
There’ll also be a Holiday Club program running at the existing location 1/20 Everist Roard, Ocean Grove from the 21 – 23 January.
