About this course
Our Home Education Art Classes offer a structured, inspiring way to support your child’s artistic development as part of their home education. Designed for children and teens aged 6–17, they provide high-quality, age-appropriate instruction that builds real skills over time – whether your child is a budding young artist or already creating with confidence.
Lessons follow a termly plan with clear skill-building objectives, so every student makes visible progress while developing their own style. Students explore traditional and contemporary techniques in drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking – no screens, just real tools and creativity – taught by experienced, DBS-checked art tutors who specialise in working with young artists of all abilities.
As an accredited Arts Award Centre, we give learners the chance to earn recognised creative qualifications alongside their artistic growth.
