Shapes and patterns inspired the Modern Artists of Casablanca (Morocco)
Inspired by the artists of the Casablanca Art School, your child will create 2D shapes based on daily objects (cups, bowls etc) and organic materials (Leaves, flowers, sticks, pebbles etc) to make their own patterns and create an imaginative and colourful composition.

Colourful Storytelling inspired by Lubaina Himid (UK, b. Zanzibar)
Inspired by Lubaina Himid, your child will design, paint and decorate large articulated cardboard cut outs of different characters in action (playing music, carrying a tray of food, watering a plant etc…). Through storytelling and colour exploration, we will think about the people who make our world work.

Collage inspired by Silvana Mendes (Brazil)
Inspired by Brazilian artist Silvana Mendes, your child will make a large-scale collage, using images of people, places, plants and animals. They will develop their creative thinking and analysis and association skills.

Inspired by Kara Walker, children will make puppets based on these silhouettes and with the help of an overhead projector, project the shadows onto their background. They will draw or paint their own background and cut out Halloween-themed silhouettes.
