AFTER SCHOOL ART CLUB: Wednesdays at Joy Lane School, Whitstable, Kent

Activity Description

The Dot Kids Method is an innovative approach to Art Education, created by Arts & Mindset Educator Julie Bevan.

Children of all abilities are welcome from both Infants and Juniors at Joy Lane Primary School, Whitstable.

Please note that we do offer After School Art Club at other schools. If you can’t see your child’s school listed, please contact your head teacher and Dot Kids so that we can set up an Art Club for your child’s school.

The sessions are very inclusive and do not centre on perfection and ‘copying a masterpiece’ instead we focus on self-expression, understanding and art appreciation.

TRIAL SESSIONS AVAILABLE, for children who haven’t attended Dot Kids Workshops & Art Clubs in the past.
