Spring Term – Wednesday Art Clubs

Celebrating Creativity Matters

Term dates: Wednesday 14 January – Wednesday 27 March
Total sessions: 10 sessions
February half term: No sessions during February half term
Location: Barkingside Art Club

This Spring Term focuses on celebrating creativity as essential, supporting children and young people to build confidence, skills, imagination, and a strong creative voice through structured, inclusive visual art education.

🎨 Why Visual Art Education Matters

Visual art education plays a vital role in children’s emotional, cognitive, and social development. Through creative practice, children learn to:

• Express thoughts, feelings, and ideas

• Develop focus, patience, and problem-solving skills

• Build fine motor skills and hand–eye coordination

• Gain confidence and independence

• Learn to collaborate, communicate, and share ideas

• Understand visual language, materials, and process

Our sessions are inclusive, supportive, and carefully structured, allowing every child to engage meaningfully at their own pace.
