Session structure

Each session begins with looking at images and introducing a role-play story.
Children then create an art project inspired by the theme.
After that, they explore the world through gently guided, open-ended imaginative play.

Next Journey - Ancient Сhina (starting 16 June)

Our next journey is designed to last 5 sessions, adapting to the pace and interests of the children.
We’ll explore main art forms in Early Imperial China - calligraphy, strategy, painting, terracotta and architecture. We'll be learning about fashion, religion and everyday life through creative projects and role-play.
Children will paint, sculpt, create costumes, make collages and play one of the earliest strategy games in history.
