The aims of the children’s classes are to nurture natural creative abilities as well as develop new skills and experiences. Focus is placed upon having the opportunity to experiment with materials and techniques many mainstream schools do not have the facilities or specialisms to provide.

Having previously worked as a primary art specialist for 10 years, Caroline realised the children who received regular art input from a specialist art teacher developed more refined fine motor skills, had enhanced creativity and problem solving skills and were more able to build successful social relationships. Art could be used as a platform to enhancing a child’s emotional wellbeing. Her work in secondary schools reinforced this belief as those children whom had received this art input were often more advance in their abilities.
