Gifted & Talented Summer School - 2006

During the six week school summer break Artblock ran a one week summer school for selected year 5, 6 & 7 'Gifted & Talented' children from the Derby area. The week's program of activities was diverse, intense and designed to push the children's creative aspirations.
Day 1 saw the children looking at movement and creating wire & clay figures.
Day 2 was spent exploring observational drawing & watercolour technique.
Day 3 looked at basic mask making & card/paper construction skills.
Day 4 was spent creating collage & box art.
Day 5, the final day, saw the children finishing any unfinished work and putting together an exhibition which was attended by friends, family & the local press.
