After school art Classes           19/10/2010 16:59 - Afterschool Activities (Locality: Offaly) ----------------------------------- Hi All,
I want to know the steps I would need to take in order to teach Art and set up Art Classes after school in my local area. Age group (4-12 yrs). Would I need a qualification in Art? Do I discuss this only with the principal of the particular school? Is the Principal the person in charge of after school activities? I am naturally very creative and I achieved an honour in the Leaving Cert. That was 9 years ago and since then I have kept painting as a great past-time myself. I would really appreciate your advice and thoughts on this. Thank You :)

I´ll get started on samples of crafts etc asap. Thanks

Samples of your work would also be important. If you had experience of working with children, even in a voluntary basis, it would also be useful I´m sure.
