About the Exhibition
2019-2020 was a year of great adaptability and exciting developments for Walkers Art Club. From September until March, students attended classes in our Susan A. Olde Art Studio, where they learned a range of studio skills including drawing, watercolour and acrylic painting, collage, assemblage of recycled materials, printing using natural materials, sculpture, ceramics and weaving. Taught concepts included still life, watercolour, portraiture, pointillism, colour theory, Caymanian Art History, transfer printing, graphic art, environmental art, and perspective.
In March 2020, Walkers Art Club went digital due to government-mandated office closures and restrictions on group gatherings to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Education department continued to work closely with Walkers instructors to develop digital lessons that extended previously covered topics and introduced new themes.
The Walkers Art Club 2019-2020 online exhibition is a celebration of the exceptional work achieved by our students and instructors during this challenging year. Join us in congratulating them!
About Walkers Art Club
This popular extracurricular art education programme offers students of all ages and abilities weekly art classes to enhance skills and expose students to both local and international artists. Participants are instructed by trained arts educators and are encouraged to express themselves, emphasizing creativity and experimentation through age-appropriate projects, themes and skills. Additionally, students make regular visits to the Exhibition Hall, and their work culminates in the annual Walkers Art Club exhibition. The classes and course materials are free to students thanks to the generous support from Walkers.
As part of the National Gallery’s mission to meet the diverse needs of the larger community, the programme includes five clubs: Foundation (5 to 7 years), Primary (8 to 10 years), Secondary (11 to 13 years), Teens (14 to 17 years) and Cayman Brac (8 to 10 years).
