Service Description

Picasso’s Playful Portraits Holiday Art Workshop for Ages 8+ Join us this holiday for a colourful and creative two-day art workshop designed especially for children aged 8 and up. In this exciting, technique-led class, young artists will explore the world of famous artists and their styles, with a special focus on Pablo Picasso and his bold, imaginative approach to portraiture. Inspired by Picasso’s Cubist period, students will learn how to break the rules of traditional portrait drawing in order to create expressive and playful artworks. With a strong emphasis on observation, proportion, and colour theory, this workshop encourages children to experiment with composition while developing their own unique style. What to Expect Over two engaging sessions, students will: - Look at key works by Picasso and learn how Cubism challenged traditional portrait techniques. - Practise drawing facial features from different angles and explore how to rearrange them in a Cubist style. - Experiment with expressive line work, bold colour choices, and abstracted forms. Create a vibrant final portrait that celebrates both artistic technique and creative freedom. This workshop is designed to give children a fun and insightful introduction to modern art movements, while developing their skills in drawing, composition, and working with colour-rich materials. Skill Level Tailored for ages 8+, with a focus on developing strong foundational art skills while encouraging bold creative expression. If your budding artist is under 8 and would like to join us, please get in touch – we’re happy to advise on suitability.
