Saturday Art Club

Saturday Art Club Ages: 8-12 yearsOur Saturday Art Club gives older children the opportunity to learn about the technical aspects of art-making while working with our team of professional artists. This season children will paint, draw and create mixed media pieces. Taking a close look at the work of famous artists, children will discover what the artists made and how they worked; taking inspiration to create their own pieces in response.  Please complete this Registration Form and return either by email to boxoffice@wexfordartscentre.ieor in person when attending the class.By exploring more materials and looking at new ways to create 2D and 3D work the Little Artists and the Saturday Art Club attendees will work on skills; of looking, of listening, of conceiving, planning and realising work.
