Digital Art – Discover a complete art studio on your computer or tablet
Past meets present as we take a journey through 20th century art & design, then apply it to modern Digital Art. This term we’ll investigate how the Dada art movement evolved into Surrealism during the 1910s-1920s, with Photo Manipulation and Digital Painting projects. Next term we’ll see how technology began to influence art in the 1980s-90s with Graphic Design and Video Game Pixel Art & Animation.

Illustration
Provider: Colour My World
Illustration – The art of visual interpretation & decoration of a concept or a text.
Build a strong creative foundation as we start out our journey through the 7 Principles of Art. In this Fall Term, we shall cover Emphasis, Contrast and Movement. After covering the basics, we’ll get experimental with diverse media and digital tools to create visually stunning mixed-media illustrations. Rhythm, Pattern, Balance and Unity will be learned in Term 2 as we organise all of the varied elements to create compelling and harmonious compositions!
Project 1 : Emphasis & Contrast
We’re starting out our journey through the 7 Principles of Art by learning about Emphasis and Contrast. We’ll look at how masters of both old and new have used these principles to their advantage, including master painter, Caravaggio, expert engraver, Gustave Dore, and comic book legend, Frank Miller. With one accent colour and the darkest ink available, participants will use pens and markers to play with negative space in order to create a Miller-esque artwork that would grab the attention of just about anyone!
Workshop outcome:
Frank Miller-inspired illustration made with ink pens, Pilot markers and POSCA pens (one accent colour).
Project 2 : Movement
Continue our journey through the 7 Principles of Art by focusing on Movement. By using elements like line, colour, and rhythm and with the help of watercolour pencil, ink and digital tools, participants will learn how to suggest physical action in a still image by creating a scene of their own and poses for their character of choice. Their artwork will then be brought to life through the making of an animated GIF (with Adobe Photoshop) by looping a series of images in rapid succession to convey motion and sense of humour!
(G6-9 participants opting for the digital pathway will need to bring a device with Photoshop or Procreate installed. A non-digital option is also available).
Workshop outcome:
Characters in motion in both physical and digital renderings.

Chinese Tea Appreciation & Brewing Workshop
Provider: Rover Adventure Ltd
This programme introduces students to Chinese tea appreciation, sensory exploration, and basic tea brewing skills in a calm, hands-on, and culturally rich learning environment.
The course is designed for a small group of approximately 8–10 students to ensure close guidance, safe practice, and meaningful participation. In the early stage of the programme, instructors will prepare and brew tea for students, allowing them to first experience tea through tasting, observation, and sensory appreciation. As the course progresses, students will gradually learn about Chinese tea culture, tea types, tea ware, brewing principles, and tea etiquette.
In the later stage of the course, students will take a more active role in the tea-making process. They will work in two small groups to practise basic brewing techniques, serve tea respectfully, and share their tea appreciation experience with peers. Through this progressive learning journey, students will develop cultural awareness, sensory observation, patience, focus, communication, teamwork, and appreciation for Chinese tea traditions.
By the end of the programme, students will be able to:
Experience and appreciate Chinese tea through guided tasting and sensory observation.
Describe tea using simple sensory vocabulary, including colour, aroma, taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste.
Understand the basic cultural meaning of Chinese tea, including hospitality, respect, mindfulness, and social connection.
