Arts Award Discover
Arts Award Discover
At The Place Stamford we will be covering the discover award over 10 weeks, looking at different types of art, exploring inspirational artists, taking part in a variety of arts projects and completing out arts logs. Eight weeks will be with our Arts Award Teacher Katie completing the work towards the arts award, trying out new art skills, working on a final project and completing an arts award journal. The remaining weeks will be with our Children’s Coordinator Alison and will lay art and craft foundations to enable us to complete out Arts Award work.
The course will take place on 28th March, 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th March, 18th, 25th April and 2nd, 9th and 16th May. If you would like to join but will miss any of the sessions, get in touch and we can work around it to ensure your child meets all the goals.

If you would like advice about which level to enter your child for please send us a message.
