Men! This Art course has been created especially for you!

Art has scientifically proven links to improving the mind and brain including; increasing plasticity, boosting memory, critical thinking as well as problem solving.

If you have time on your hands or are even retired and would like to keep your brain alert, why not take up a new challenge; drawing and painting could be your new hobby. 

Art House Art School is not one of those places that all the students draw or paint the same pretty picture or follow an instructors demonstration, there are plenty other classes 

that offer this.

Here at the Art School you will learn the skills and techniques in order to create your own unique Art Works that you can be proud of have mounted, framed and hung.

These sessions are learner centred therefore you can explore both materials and subjects that inspire you.

Katrina is on hand to support, challenge and stretch you, so that you can develop your skills to become a proficient artist.

​

This course is currently Monday 1.30pm - 3.30pm  Includes Refreshments & Materials.

(Canvasses and watercolour paper extra). 

First session Free. £15 per session.

TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY - 'Foundation Approach'

Inspired by my own Art  College experience, ‘The Foundation Approach’ is an exciting and fast paced practical course designed to progress students by stretching and challenging, underpinned with historical context throughout.

* Tea/Coffee & Biscuits

This is a very relaxed Art Group meeting once a week, Thursday mornings. The emphasis is on enjoying the process of creating art in a calm and friendly environment. You may do as much or as little as you wish there is no pressure, enjoy a coffee and a biscuit and leave all your worries at home. This is a lovely way to meet and form friendships as well as pursuing an enjoyable past-time.

The therapeutic and mindful process of making art releases dopamine in the brain, this helps us feel joy and relieves stress, thus supporting your mental health and wellbeing. It has also been found to help improve problem solving and memory no matter what age you are. 

There is an array of art materials to choose from including; acrylic paints, watercolours, pastels, collage materials and various forms of printing. There is always a selection of still-life objects and reference pictures or you can always bring your own inspiration. Katrina is on hand to support you with ideas and technical aspects tailoring sessions specifically for you.

Once a month Katrina facilitates a taster workshop to encourage students to try something new by introducing  materials, techniques and disciplines.
