What a wonderful school break we have had!

In Gosforth and Whitley Bay we have such a fantastic time learning about master artists like Andy Warhol, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keefe. We’ve drawn and painted to lush landscapes and bridges of the Northeast, and we’ve explored our love of all things animals through drawing painting and sculpture. ❤️🤩🎨🖌️

The brilliant artworks featured have all been created by our May workshop students. ❤️

Next up, Summer Break! 😎
