Visual Arts

Visual Arts play a central role in the STEMpower Through Art project, offering young participants a creative space to express emotions, ideas and imagination through hands-on artistic activities. Through drawing, painting, crafts and mixed-media work, young people explore colours, textures and shapes while developing their artistic voice in a supportive environment.

Visual Arts at Our Core

In our visual arts sessions, participants:

  • explore drawing and painting with simple, accessible materials

  • create mixed-media artworks and collages

  • experiment with colours, shapes and textures

  • participate in guided craft projects inspired by STEM themes

  • present their creations and share ideas with peers

These workshops are designed to be engaging, relaxing and enjoyable, helping each young person to express themselves creatively..
