The Art of Storytelling - P6 to S2

We are delighted to welcome back award winning illustrator, author, and designer Kate McLelland to lead our Easter Art Camp. Under the theme ‘The Art of Storytelling’.  

Art has been used to tell stories for thousands of years, from cave paintings and Greek vases to modern animation. During this week we will be exploring, creating and developing our own visual stories using a wide range of materials, art disciplines and crafts for everyone to enjoy.
