Our way of working -
Initially we invite you, and/or your child to come and discuss how we work in a twenty minute meet and greet appointment before the classes begin. You, and/or your child can bring along a few recent artworks to show us or show us from your phone. We discuss what your main interests are and what you may want to begin to focus on. We talk about what materials are needed and the costs involved. We also ask you to fill out a contact form if you decide to join us for the coming term/s.
At the beginning of the course and throughout, we dicuss what the students individual interests are and then start researching to initiate the process of creating around those interests. Once ideas begin to emerge by sketching from their imagination, drawing from reference materials, or by doing observational drawings, students can then expand their exploration into final drawings and onto other disciplines, such as painting, mixed media or sculpture. This may depend apon which mediums their subject dictates or the techniques or issues/ideas they want to explore further.
The students tutor will demonstrate the techniques they will need to employ throughout each chosen project.
Throughout the terms there will be a mix of tutor directed group projects, as well as the individual student initiated projects.
We will also study other artists who display similar styles, techniques or interests with their work, to help inform the students direction.
Our Art Development courses are aimed at - Tweens, Teens and Adults.
Because students work on their own projects and at their own pace, I have mixed ages within most of the classes.
Class sizes are kept to no more then eight students per class.
This course is also ideal for college-age students who need help with their Art-boards and to create and accumulate work for University Portfolios.
Hope to meet you and/or your child soon

And here's a wee incentive for current students:
If you introduce a friend or family member to the classes, and they sign up for the term, you will receive a voucher for one extra free lesson or one class fee off the following term's fees. So get inviting. The more you invite, the less you will have to pay. Contact Megan to make a time to meet and discuss your creative aims. |

Phone/Text Megan to discuss either you or your child's artistic goals.
I always like to book a 20 minute meet and greet session before the classes begin. This is to introduce myself and talk about how the course is structured and go over the artistic aims you may have to begin with. You or your child may want to show me a few of your/or their recent artworks either from photos or a sketch pad, visual diary or actual works. I also find this is a good time for young ones to become familiar with the room before we start. I will discuss what art materials you will need and students/parents can fill out the contact form. Look forward to meeting you. Bring a pencil & rubber on the first day. (Minimum number of 4 students required for a course to go ahead). |
