| Programme Overview
Link: Country Overview
| | |
| This programme is dedicated to developing, stimulating and inspiring creativity in the Visual Arts for youngsters with all levels of talent from aspiring beginners through to experienced artists with proven a history of achievement. The art group works either in the well-equipped Art Studio or in the most attractive grounds and gardens of the College, which itself boasts many beautifully crafted sculptures and bronzes both in the public indoor areas, the Fountain Park and the Secret Garden.
The Creative Arts Director is a professional visual arts educator and talented artist, supported by a small team with different specialist talents.
During the course, the work completed by each camper is shown on the in-camp wall display, which changes every few days, as new work is ready. In most sessions the group elects to combine some of its work on a large and always impressive Group Mural that is unveiled at the end of the course.
