Arts Award - Discover in a Day
Arts Award Discover is the start of the Arts Award adventure. It takes children and young people on an artistic journey as they explore the arts all around them, investigate different art forms, research an artist, and then share their discoveries with others. As well as developing their knowledge and understanding of the arts, Arts Award Discover boosts children's creativity, curiosity, confidence, and communication skills.
Sessions last one day. All students who take part and successfully complete their Arts Award journals will be awarded a certificate from Trinity College London, which incurs a cost per child. If you would like to know more about the Arts Award programme and certificate costs, please visit https://www.artsaward.org.uk/ or contact the Learning Team by emailing learningattheamelia@tunbridgewells.gov.uk
