A.O.B
KIDS
Hello, kids, parents and teachers! Welcome to the 'Art of Being' Kids School.
Whether you're fifteen years old or five, dread anything arty, love painting or are an aspiring mathematician, we have something for you! Exploring themes such as: freedom, space, geometry, history and dreams, studied through the lens of dancing, drawing, maths, breathing exercises, discussions and much more, there is something for everyone!
As we are all creations ourselves, A.O.B believes we all harness the innate power to create, and crafts an environment which ignites that unique, inner artist that lays within every child. Where every child's 'being' matters.
WHAT IS THE 'ART OF BEING'?
Though realistic sketching is an awesome skill, and something we love at Art of Being, Art is SO much more than being the most 'realistic' drawer.
​
Art is the way you speak, move, breathe, listen. There is an Art to everything.
​
Being (existing) and being a human 'being' is an art; in that through expression, conversations and meditation we can become better at life, at 'being'.
​
MISSION
We believe that through our varied workshops, with something for every personality and style of learner, we can all learn the 'Art of Being', and how to become the best version of our unique being as possible.
​
Through engaging workshops and tuition, with ages ranging from 4-18, including S.E.N/D, and behavioural/emotional difficulties, every child can access the healing and transformative power of the arts. As well as the invaluable therapeutic benefits our work provides, we are also proficient in academic art tuition. We have helped multiple students successfully gain art scholarships or places at prestigious art and private schools, such as the BRIT school.
​
We work with parents, fellow educators and schools to design a session and/or pick a theme, tailored to your individual student(s) and their needs.
Where every child's 'being' matters.

(All A.O.B staff have an enhanced DBS, as well as many years of experience in the arts and education)
