Welcome to Cranleigh Art Hub!
We are a group based in Cranleigh, Surrey. Our ethos is to inspire young artists who are either planning to take GCSE Art in the near future or who just have a love for the subject.
So who is it suitable for?
ART HUB
- Secondary years 7 – 11
- Any students who love Art and want to boost their grades at GCSE level.
ART HUB MINI
- Primary years 4 – 6
- Children who love drawing, painting and creating.
So where & when do we meet?
- Art Hub meets on Tuesdays (during term time) at 3.45pm until 5:00pm at Cranleigh Arts Centre.
- Art Hub Mini meets on Wednesdays (during term time) at 3.40pm until 4.40pm at Cranleigh Arts Centre.
We have a large room with a sink and enough space for 15 students to meet at the same time. The atmosphere is relaxed, yet conducive to work. We learn, work and enjoy ourselves all at once.
What kind of work will we do at Art Hub?
At The Art Hub we will work through the formal elements of Art & Design and learn how to approach GCSE projects. If you are in years 10 & 11 we can work on any unfinished portfolio work. Maybe you have an unfinished collage from school which you need to complete or maybe you love to paint but have never tried acrylics? We can chat each week and see what works for you. Please note we can’t do any 3D work due to room restrictions.
What kind of work will we do at Art Hub Mini?
We will work through the formal elements of Art and design in the form of fun and engaging projects. We will learn how to use the equipment properly and gain control of the medium.
How big is the group?
I want to keep the group to a max of 15 as having taught classes of 30 plus understand that you cannot give everyone sufficient 1:1 attention if the class is too large.
What do I bring with me & will it be like school?
On day one, just bring yourself. I will provide sketchbooks and all art materials required. If you are a messy artist (like me!), please have an old t-shirt or apron that you can bring along each week. The idea is that you will learn as much as school, but without the formalities of a classroom. I will be insisting on good manners and mutual respect though! We will all tidy up our own mess and clean our brushes.
