ART CLUB
About Art Club
WHERE & WHEN
When: Thursdays 4.00 - 6.00pm during school term time.
Where: FAYAP Youth & Arts Centre, Saxtead Road, Framlingham, Suffolk IP13 9HE
Each session is run by our own member of staff who has a degree in Fine Art and is a practicing artist themselves. Build up your skills, progress and confidence with sketchbook work. Expand your skill set from week to week and start making art work outside of your sketchbook.
Whilst supervised and using the correct equipment, this was created by a young person who had never used spray paint before. Come and see it for yourself, hung proudly in our centre. The use of spray paint requires particular planning and singing of a consent form from a guardian.
For Parents & Guardians
Art club is welcome to any young person of any ability. They do not require any creative knowledge to be able to take part in art club. Our building has easy mobility access and all activities are adaptable to meet any young person’s need physical and/or mental.
We do discourage the use of phones unless being used as a creative reference. (Please ensure you have safe search and parental restrictions on your young person’s phone).
Young people can create alone or together, make new friends, if they wish to have a focused session there are additional, quieter rooms that can be used.
Every session begins at 15:45 , and although we run until 18.00 , tidying up and packing away begins at 17:45. Please ensure your young person is collected from the session between 17:45 and 18:00.
At this current time we don’t provide aprons. We do supervise the usage of paint but be please be aware acrylic paint and oils do not come out of clothes. Please give your young person old clothes, an oversized jumper or apron to bring to art club with them or risk them getting permanent paint on clothing.
Sessions are unstructured , this means young people are open to create anything they wish. It is a relaxed and non-pressurized environment. If your young person wishes to have structured tuition please let staff know at least two sessions before as specific planning is required. To do so email with the subject labelled Art Club at fayapcentre@gmail.com
If you have any other enquiries please don’t hesitate to talk to staff before or after a session. Or email us at fayapcentre@gmail.com
Art Club is for any young person looking to expand their creative curiosity and skills. Every session is open to create anyway you want to with materials provided. They are unstructured sessions however one to one tutorage is available but please ask for this in advance.
Materials such as Posca pens, water colours, acrylic paints, drawing pencils and much more is provided in art club for free. High quality sketchbooks are available for free, on the condition of regular attendance to art club.
If you’re stuck and find it difficult to grasp for creative inspiration learn how to create a mind map of ideas. Your mind map is your own and can be designed how you wish. Through writing, drawing or collage, your ideas will branch from one to another, these can essentially become infinite. You can make different mind maps for different subject matters and use these at each art club session.
Work on large scale specialised paper and canvas, upscale your drawings on a larger print and help decorate our walls for an exhibition. Canvas is also provided for free, on the condition of regular attendance to art club.
