Kids age 9 - 12 years

Service Description

School-age children might use colours and shapes to communicate feelings, ideas and messages – for example, using lots of black to draw a dark scene or scary feelings. They might also use symbols to show the difference between things. It can be pretty easy to work out what interests your child when you watch what he/she creates. For example: he/she might enjoy creating pictures of trees, butterflies or cars over and over again. You might notice that your child’s drawings and paintings are more detailed now. Where your child used to draw scribbles and squiggles for trees and flowers, now you can see leaves, branches, trunks and petals, and even more finer detail. Children who may be having difficulties in other parts of the school curriculum may find an expressive outlet through art. It’s a way to uncover talent that may not be seen otherwise. Art is a means of communicating ideas, feelings, and solutions in a way other than verbally or written (source: internet) More detail in artistic expression, shading, textures etc. can be explored with this age group. We however do not limit their creativity but enhance it whilst working with them on their art or 3-D projects.
