YOUNG ARTS 2008

Started in 1973, Young Arts aims to provide opportunities for children and young people, aged 8 - 18, to expand their horizons through their involvement in creative activities and to inspire them with a lasting enthusiasm for the arts, our heritage and its conservation.

HDFAS YOUNG ARTS PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKSHOP: MARCH 2008

A Photographic Workshop was arranged with acclaimed photographer Peter Searight. The participants went out onto Lynchmere Common, dodging the showers, and had a very enjoyable and rewarding morning. The main areas covered were composition, perspective and ultimately the process of transferring images to a computer, with a serious analysis of the results by Peter Searight.

PORTRAIT PAINTING: JULY 2007

HDFAS donated £200 for a Portrait Workshop with local artist Roger Dellar, which took place at Haslemere Museum. The young artists produced portraits, a selection of which were on display at the September lecture at Haslemere Hall. The event was a great success and was written up in the Haslemere Herald - the article included a photograph of Roger Dellar and all the participants.

KING EDWARD'S SCHOOL, WITLEY: Sponsorship of A-Level Art Student
