ART PROGRAM

The Creative Spark Art Program runs for two hours (120 minutes)

After a short introduction our award-winning¹ art program begins with the origins of art and different styles. Again, no previous creative or art experience is required. We move on to a fun sketching activity where participants learn basics around perspective, shadow, and shading. Once a subject matter is chosen participants learn how to use quality water colour art materials such as brushes, paper, and paints.  Following simple facilitated steps (depicted on a white board) participants make their own ‘water colour masterpiece’ which they can take home.
