Unleash your creative side! Ideas on how to get your children drawing.

Unleash your creative side!

This summer I have held classes in the Royal Rose Gardens, The Royal Geographic Society Map Room, Victoria & Albert Museum cast room and many more inspiring locations. Art does not solely take place in a classroom or at the kitchen table. Nothing beats drawing from life.

For example, when drawing a rose you may notice the fragrance, intensity of colour, scale, thickness of petals and much more! I love tutoring art! It is wonderful to share skills, techniques, enthusiasm for the subject and help students on their own creative journey.

I tutor students through art GCSE, A Level, preparing for art scholarship and art school. I feel it is important to choose a theme that interests and captures the student’s imagination. Recently a student who loves cars created a dynamic GCSE project inspired by tyres.

Besides being a tutor, Venetia Norris is an artist who widely exhibits her drawings inspired by nature. For details of Venetia’s forthcoming exhibition of artworks created during her artist residency at North London Collegiate School, please visit her website.
