Children's Art Group (Thursdays)
A note from Iain, our Children, Youth & Families Worker re the plan to establish an Art Group:
"As an example,three of the themes used for our virtual Sunday School sessions were Jesus Loves Me, My Family and For God So Loved the World. Contained within each session we have an art work slot which is an opportunity for the children and young people to draw their representation of the theme for that week.
I am constantly amazed, (but after almost a year of leading these sessions I shouldn’t be) of the quality, imagination, design and colourfulness of the artwork that the children and young people produce. On the 'Our Space' page (Click Here to go to 'Our Space') are examples of the art work created by the children and young people.
I hope you will agree with me in that we have a very talented group and their pictures are further enhanced by the fact they only have around 5 minutes to produce them, albeit they can work on them after the session before sending them to me for sharing with the group the following week.
Most of the artwork on show has been produced by Jessica, Charlotte, Hannah, Mia, Kaja, Max, Sophie, Millie, Lucy, Craig and Zoe. The age range of the children and young people is 5-13 years.
Based on the evidence of what has been achieved and delivered during our virtual Sunday School sessions, I believe we have the opportunity to create an art group for children, young people and families. (Editor: Check out below for more details as this belief became a reality in Summer 21).
If you feel you would like to get involved in helping at such a group please let me know – no great art qualifications are required, I am certainly no artist - all you need is a love of children, a patient, encouraging heart and to be able to give a couple of hours per week of your time."
