Young Arts | Saturday Club 2026/27

<p dir="ltr">On this multi-activity 25 session Art, Design and Media course, you will work with various specialist tutors throughout the year in a series of art, design and creative media based skills workshops and short projects. </p> <p dir="ltr">During the year of activities you will attend a gallery or other arts event and your artwork will be displayed in a winter exhibition marking 170 years of Arts University Plymouth in December 2026. At the end of the Summer term, your work will be showcased as part of the annual Arts University Plymouth Graduate Show with a private view event for you and your families with a certificate presentation.</p>Young Arts is for all children in school years 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. We will create smaller groups by age so that you are working with your peers. Older children in school years 10 and 11 should apply for a place on one of our National Saturday Clubs instead.<br /><br />You will learn lots of creative techniques and make finished artworks to take home throughout the course. For each block of activities, you will have one or more specialist tutor, and you will move around the projects in your group so that all students can try many different projects and creative mediums. What you do during each block of activities will depend on your own group, but each age group will do every activity throughout the year.<p dir="ltr"><br />This year will include the following:<br /></p><ul><li>Landscape painting miniatures</li><li>Painting and drawing styles and techniques</li><li>Printmaking art creation</li><li>Collage use in artwork</li><li>Digital animation</li><li>Group artwork creation</li><li>Fine art inspired artwork</li><li>Photography</li><li>Outdoor drawing</li><li>Small textile crafts<br /></li></ul> <p><strong>Please note: </strong>Sessions do not take place on Saturdays during half terms and other holiday periods such as Easter and Christmas holidays.</p> <p><strong>Main Venue:</strong> Palace Court, Arts University Plymouth Pre-Degree &amp; Sixth Form Campus, Buckwell Street, Plymouth, PL1 2DA</p> <p dir="ltr">Other Young Arts courses can be found at<strong> <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/courses/young-arts">aup.ac.uk/courses/young-arts</a></strong><br /></p>
