We offer Art sessions for our children to encourage creativity and spontaneous self-expression.
Arno Stern approach emphasised respects from each other’s individual needs, and removing the pressure of performing. Children learn to trust, express the richness of their world and respond to the critical judging voices within.
In the right atmosphere, painting becomes a powerful tool to support children’s growth into healthy confident adults.
” ….personal development is linked to social experience. Thus, activity in the Closlieu allows individuals to fulfil themselves among others rather than against them.’’ (Arno Stern in ‘Creative Education’).
This session is delivered by Mrs Katia Allio, an Art therapy specialist who trained in Switzerland, specifically for young children in nurseries and primary schools. She worked as a Team leader teacher and head assistant of the SENCO department. She also ran her own Art therapy centre to support families with children with special need and behaviour difficulties to improve self-esteem.
