Creativity
Art + feeds your creative self, which is an important part of who you are! Wherever life takes you, creativity will help you see things in new contexts, question old truths and explore new ideas. This can help give you a richer experience of the world around you.
Visual Technique
At Art+ , over the course of the year, you will develop your ability in drawing, painting, collage, and your perception of objects and space.
Using a variety of materials including oils, acrylic paints, ink, spray paints, and more, we will look at different methods of drawing and painting as ways in which you can express yourself. Good technique , expression and creativity powerfully combine in the making of art.

Street Art
Street art has been a feature of Art+ for the past 10 years. We therefore have an in depth knowledge of teaching this art form. Many international street artists have been guest teachers at the school. You will be introduced to a range of street art practice, mural painting, stencils, graffiti and paste-up. You may even get to put your work out on the street.
Guest teachers will be an additional source of inspiration. For example, we have had the internationally renowned artist Brad Downey as guest teacher and a workshop with the famous graffiti artist Tegson. We have also had visits from street art artists inluding Gaia, The Wa, Chris Stain, Akay, NDA and Cane Morto.
Not least, the main teacher on Kunst +, John Cunningham, is himself a competent, recognised street artist.
