What is Youth Arts & How Can it Benefit My Teenager?

Charcoal, pencil, painting, portraits, large-scale artwork, exhibitions and volunteering opportunities — Youth Arts is an exciting programme for creative teenagers. The workshops can support GCSE/A-Level arts subjects, as well as portfolio and interview preparation for scholarships or higher-level courses (e.g. arts degrees). (e.g. degree in the arts).

 

Arts Award

Young people will have the opportunity to achieve Arts Awards (awarded by Trinity College London) at either Bronze, Silver or Gold levels aligned to their developmental stage. Gold Arts Award carries 16 UCAS tariff points and is equivalent to A-Level standard.

 

What Students & Parents Say

"...Mukesh knows when to challenge and gently push, when to revel in the joy of drawing, painting and making, and how to share his deep love of all things creative! Mukesh manages to combine really fun creative experiments with rigorous drawing exercises and lots of art history, weaving it all together so it makes sense and feels really exciting. He is an excellent, supportive tutor who makes it all seem possible..." Emily, Parent.
