A range of artistic summer classes on offer in Hong Kong
Summer camps explore children's creativity
Gone are the days when the summer holidays left parents bereft of activities to keep their children's boredom at bay. Summer camps cater to virtually every inclination and can provide a different context for learning and an outlet to discover new interests.
Students in the Art in Practice course at the Colour My World arts school in Aberdeen, for example, learn techniques and let their imagination run free as they work to produce two final artworks.
The specialist art teachers guide participants through techniques across various mediums and teach them how to select themes and materials.
Tiffany Larkan, head teacher at Colour My World, says students learn how different applications of media can be used to convey ideas. Participants are encouraged to explore their own imaginations to develop concepts and generate the final artworks.
"The process includes exploring two different approaches, either in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography or graphic design," she says. "Students gain in-depth knowledge and confidence and then explore techniques and skills to complete a final artwork."
