Young Creatives
The Young Creatives programme at Leeds College of Art was a vibrant and inspiring range of Arts courses aimed at students 7-18 years old. It provided a fantastic opportunity for young people to use the college facilities which include industry standard studios and specialist tutors. I tutored on this programme from 2014-2018 and focused on offering mixed media content and Arts Award provision for the programme. Following the change of the establishment from an art college to an arts university, the decision was made to drop the community programme and focus on offering degree level qualifications and as such, this fantastic opportunity for the children and young people of Leeds was lost.
Examples of work from the Young Creatives programme can be seen below.
