If your child is shy or low in confidence, art’sKool in Ocean Grove and Torquay is the perfect place for them.
At art’sKool, students will be immersed in an eight-week art program, which will bring even the shyest and most uncertain child out of their shell.
The program involves four weeks of pottery and four weeks of painting and drawing.
Pottery is a soothing and tactile activity, which can boost a child’s self-esteem and improve their motor skills and problem solving ability. Children who struggle to stay focused are often fascinated and completely engaged while working with clay.
“I see the smiles on young faces as the children create clay sculptures, they have had control and finished even if lopsided. As perfection is not the goal of our pottery class their self-esteem grows. They realise they can make something with their hands, unknowingly learning professional pottery skills at a young age,” says Kaz McGlynn, artist and CEO of the Studio Gallery Arts Hub.
“Your child gets multiple benefits from art and pottery at art’sKool that leaves a lasting impression.”
Children who have spent time with Kaz at art’sKool tend to be keen to practice their newfound skills at school home and everywhere in between!
Art’sKool is also involved in community projects, such as the upcoming Barwon Heads Festival of the Sea on 14 March at the Foreshore at Barwon Heads.
Adults and children alike are invited to the Art’sKool interactive sea bird art activity, where every participant will create art to take home! You can also view Moonah Magic – a fabulous art installation made by art’sKool students.
