Art Classes Tailored for Everyone
I believe that art is for everyone, regardless of skill level. With over 20 years of experience, I offer dynamic adult art classes throughout Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Lowestoft, and the beautiful regions of South East Norfolk and North Suffolk.
My qualifications, including a Ba Hons and PGCE, empower me to provide structured yet expressive teaching in various 2D and 3D media. From the depths of watercolour to the vibrancy of acrylics and oils, students explore captivating themes like portraiture, landscapes, animals, and still life. My classes always aim to foster personal development through creative projects, ensuring that everyone feels capable and inspired as they unlock their artistic potential.
Kimberley Bevan Art Classes
Biography:
After graduating from the University of Hertfordshire in 2004 with a BA (Hons) in Applied Media Arts (3D), Kimberley Bevan was awarded a five-year fellowship with Digswell Arts Trust. During this time, she began to exhibit in London and Europe while working with other artists on international exhibitions and local educational programs.
In 2009, she was awarded a board trustee position where she continued to work in support of local arts projects in collaboration with various authorities. A few years later, she would leave DAT to develop a new local art group – Elysian, the group of artists worked across several mixed media and fed into one another's theories and arts ideologies, her work would grow to be exhibited locally, nationally and internationally.
In 2021, she moved with her family to Norfolk, teaching for East Coast College, Anteros and recently Art pocket. Expanding her creative offering, she has set up her unique workshops at Silver Road, Norwich, which can be booked via this site. Her personal artworks enjoy exploring colour and layering of media, examining the wonder and beauty of the Norfolk cultures and environment. Her work is keen on the dramatisation of narrative, colour and texture, which pulls the viewer into an exciting and expressive world full of atmosphere.
