Nikki Kendrick Arts

Visual Art Workshops for Schools

Mission Statement:
To inspire and realise creative potential through the visual arts.

Philosophy:
At Nikki Kendrick Arts we believe :-

• the visual arts can be a tool for engaging children and young people, and adults to develop confidence as well as practical skills.
• experimentation can be as valid as the production of a “finished” product in terms of enabling learning.
• regardless of perceived “talent”, anyone can develop their artistic “eye” and skills with training and practice.
• you’re never too young or old to participate.

Code of Practice:
We subscribe to the Code of Practice for Artists which advocates the following principles:

• Contribute Confidently
• Prepare Thoroughly
• Collaborate Creatively
• Aim High
