We are very excited to launch our new Arts Award Discover at Home series, full of fun, accessible and interactive videos which explore a different art forms and creative ideas, created by local artists. These activities are all designed to be enjoyed and completed by parents and carers with their children (ages 5-11), being supported and supervised throughout.
We’ve categorised each activity video by art form as a drop down section below. So, for example, if you and the kids would like to draw some shapes – click ‘Arts & Crafts’. Or if you’d prefer to ‘throw some shapes‘ – click on the ‘Dance’ drop down section.
Complete our specially designed Arts Award Discover Logbook alongside your chosen activity and children can earn an Arts Award Discover Certificate to celebrate their fantastic achievement! Wondering what exactly Arts Award Discover at Home is? Click here to find out more.
