TEACHERS AND VALUES
Rezen Art is committed to creating a comfortable and welcoming learning environment for children, where they’re free to explore their imagination and develop their creativity. Practising art is a wonderful way to reduce your children’s screen time and engage in a hands-on activity. Qualified, DBS checked and experienced art teachers, with range of skills, will be looking after your child at Rezen Art. Teacher to student ratio is up to 8 children per teacher with max 16 children per class. Every child has a different approach to their work which is recognised and supported. Whether they are a beginner or a budding Picasso, we will offer encouragement and guidance.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE ART CLASS
The class duration is 1 hour 15 min long. The lesson starts with our teacher explaining today's topic and then demonstrating a technique with all necessary materials laid out on the table. Your child will then start creating their masterpiece with our teachers providing support & advice when necessary. The academic year moves your child through an Art & Craft curriculum of each project taking in between one to three sessions. Once a project is completed the child can take their work home (canvas painting, clay model, crafted object).

TECHNIQUES
The art classes are designed to encompass a wide range of mediums and techniques that explores 2D and 3D techniques. Children will work with acrylics on a canvas and focus on a specific artistic approach. We will also explore other mediums including watercolours, inks, pastels, oil pastels, clay, papier mâché and metal tooling. Throughout the classes we will be working on core skills such as visual memory, fine motor control, improving visual, perceptual, and spatial awareness as well as introducing new mediums and techniques which will develop colour theory and tonal values.
Art Teacher - Georgios Giparis
Georgios is a Greek painter and BA ART and MA Fine ART degree holder from the University of Reading. He is a professional graffiti artist with experience in delivering artworks both for private collections and public spaces. Moreover, he has delivered art-related workshops and have accumulated teaching experience in art related courses. Georgios's are developed from figurative drawings, painting from drawings, life and photography. His current body of work has evolved by thinking through the initial process of portrait painting and expanding my ideas around that portrait into fictions and stories deriving from mythology, philosophy, spirituality and history by being a storyteller. He uses oils and acrylics, and has an expertise in graffiti which allows him to expand his practice into public spaces. Georgios is influenced by the Old Masters, Symbolism of the 19th century as well as contemporary artists such as Gerhard Richter, Michael Borremans and Luc Tuymans.
