Graffiti artist, David Knox visited The Skills Academy to help young artists craft their own style of street art.
Students with an interest in painting and decorating train with Skills Academy Instructor, Paul. The youngsters also have the opportunity to further develop their artistic abilities by joining valuable masterclasses with genuine professionals working within the industry. With help from David and Paul, the young aspiring artists redecorated their paint workshop with their own street art style.
At Kibble’s Skills Academy, young people are encouraged to bring their imagination to life and further develop their creative skills whether it is script-writing, music-making, video creation, building through their construction course or completing an art project. Across all subjects, young people paint outside the lines at our academy.
Students have shown great talent in street art and produced original artwork with a colourful urban style. Graffiti has become more and more popular with many aspiring artists taking inspiration from the contemporary works by Banksy.
Young people can design text, images and illustrations by hand using spray paint. The distinctive sketches stand out and is a form of self-expression. The time spent with Instructor, Paul and masterclass with graffiti artist, David has helped enhance young peoples’ overall creative talent.
