Art Academy

Joining the Art Academy’s Digital Art + Animation Saturday Club will offer you the opportunity to try everything from Photography to Photoshop, giving you skills in animation, editing, graphic design and illustration!

It’s a fantastic chance to attend the Art Academy, located on London’s Southbank, and use the specialist digital suite to explore your artistic talents in digital art and animation. If you are a complete beginner or looking to broaden your skills, this free and friendly club offers those in Year 9 – 11, a chance to collaborate with likeminded artists.

Club members also take part in national events including Masterclasses with leading industry professionals and the Summer Show, where Saturday Clubs nationwide exhibit their work in a public exhibition – all for free!

Influenced by Germanic Expressionism, Dann’s work often explores themes related to mental health and identity. Their work has been screened at festivals worldwide and featured on Channel 4 and MTV.
