We’re feelin’ groovy this September, as we celebrate the Fall term with a blast of colour, texture, shape and form. Inspired by an eclectic range of modern artists from Australia to America, Japan, Canada and beyond, we shall discover new art form with the use of visual languages, enchanting symbolism and fun narration. Check out the NEW Sculpture Culture which opens up a world of storytelling in mixed-media 3D design. Come create your own artistic narrative with our range of highly informative and fun visual arts workshops this Fall… what story will you tell?
