art-K Ashtead

Children are given a well-rounded art education in art-K, including sketching, painting, and 3D modelling. The atmosphere at our art classes is supportive, welcoming, and non-competitive. This enables each learner to progress at their own rate while honing their own set of skills. Our pupils develop greatly over time in terms of creativity, expressiveness, and self-assurance. Their perspective of themselves and how others see them may both shift as a result of this confidence.
Kathryn spent her life practicing art; drawing on every piece of paper she could get her hands on. She also wanted to have a career working with children, leading her to pursue Speech and Language Therapy at University (although some of her University interviewers were a bit taken aback when Kathryn asked if there was an art option during the course!).
This months teacher spotlight is on Layla art assistant at art-K Greenwich! After joining our first ever art-K branch as a student, she returned in 2017 as an assistant, eager to continue connecting with our programme and students. We spoke with her about her educational journey and how it has helped her to get to where she is today.
