Art and Design Academy
Our Art and Design Academy at The King’s Summer School’s offers an inspiring programme for young creatives. This programme creates a nurturing environment for our students to explore their artistic talents.
This academy is the perfect choice for students who want to experiment, refine their artistic skills, and develop creative confidence.
Our Art and Design Activities
Our Art and Design Academy provides students with the opportunity to engage in hands-on studio sessions across a variety of mediums. Experienced tutors encourage personal expression while guiding students through technical skills and creative exploration.
Creative Exploration
The Art and Design Academy inspires students to experiment with different materials and techniques. You will work with paints, charcoal, clay, and mixed media. These sessions encourage creativity and help you push the boundaries of your artistic imagination.
By exploring different methods, students gain both confidence and versatility. Each project builds technical ability while nurturing individual expression.
Practical Studio Sessions
At the heart of our design academy are structured, hands-on sessions. Tutors demonstrate methods and guide students through specific artistic styles. They will create individual pieces as well as collaborative projects, learning how to share and develop ideas with their peers.
Studio time is interactive, fun, and productive. Students are encouraged to experiment freely while receiving supportive feedback to improve their work.
Painting
The Art and Design Academy offers painting workshops for all levels. Students practice brush techniques, colour mixing, and composition. Projects explore a variety of different painting styles to help our students find their passion. Each session builds confidence by combining technical painting lessons with creative and fun activities.
Drawing
In drawing sessions, students refine observation and sketching abilities. The art academy emphasises proportion, shading, and perspective. Through still life, portraits, and landscapes, students develop their ability to translate what they see into what appears on their canvass. While fun and educational on their own, these exercises also prepare our more technically minded students for advanced art studies according to their talents.
Sculpting
The design side of our academy at The Kings’ Summer School includes opportunities for sculpting and other three-dimensional art. Students experiment with clay, wire, and other sculptural materials. Sculpture projects enhance spatial awareness and problem-solving skills. We understand that art can be more than just a canvass and encourage our students to explore their creativity in form, texture, and structure.
Portfolio Development
Developing your portfolio is an integral part of an aspiring art student’s professional and creative journey. We aim to help our students produce high-quality work for their personal portfolios that will carry them forward.
Each completed project demonstrates creativity, technical prowess, and originality. A strong portfolio supports future applications to art schools or creative programmes.
