At IDEA, we are committed to creating learning environments that go beyond traditional instruction: spaces where creativity, exploration, and education intersect to support the development of confident, curious, and capable young people.

These encounters sparked critical thinking and meaningful discussions about artistic expression, encouraging children to experiment with shape, colour, pattern, and repetition in their own work.

THROWBACK TO OUR PREVIOUS CAMPS

During Easter Camp our students visited the Tate Modern, where they engaged directly with modern and contemporary art.

They explored the geometric abstraction of Piet Mondrian and the bold visual language of Andy Warhol.

These encounters sparked critical thinking and meaningful discussions about artistic expression, encouraging children to experiment with shape, colour, pattern, and repetition in their own work.

TATE MODERN

We also visited the Science Museum, introducing children to the science of rockets and flight.

This interdisciplinary experience bridged art and STEM, as participants translated their learning into designing and building their own rockets—combining creativity, problem-solving, and applied knowledge.
