Happydoodle

Happydoodle We are a children's art club offering fun and friendly art sessions for children aged 5-11. Happydoodle is a brand new children’s art club for 5-11 year olds .

We offer art courses during term time, as well as holiday workshops. Happydoodle is a warm and welcoming club where children can explore art and craft. Happydoodle is the brainchild of Downley artists Lian Chan and Jane Powell.
“We passionately believe that every child has a creative side which should be nurtured. You don’t have to be amazing at drawing or sculpture to enjoy making art, and we h

ope to give young people the confidence to really use their imaginations and explore ideas. What could be more useful in the future than the ability to think creatively?”
Lian and Jane have drawn on their experience of delivering art workshops for children to develop the sessions. We base our sessions on a famous work of art and provide fun and creative activities inspired by that work. The children are given the opportunity to develop their own ideas and approaches experimenting with various techniques and media, such as painting, photography, printmaking, clay modelling and collage.

Thank you to all the parents and pupils who visited our exhibition yesterday, it was great to see you all! Well done to our brilliant artists who made the show a great success. I think everyone especially enjoyed watching the fashion show! Well done too to our winners at the Downley Art Show - happydoodle children made a clean sweep in the 5-12yr category!

As many of you know this is our last exhibition and course at happydoodle. Jane and I are having a break from art provision, but will continue to be active at the school helping with art sessions where possible. We have had such fun spending time with all our happydoodlers and seeing their confidence and creative skills develop over the years, We thank parents for supporting our little business and hope we have made a positive difference in the art education of your children.

A fabulously festive time was had by all at our Christmas workshop yesterday! Our happydoodlers enjoyed making woodland creatures and their festive homes. As ever their imaginations astounded us; disco foxes, a candy cane shop, a number of light-sabre wielding Badgers and many style-conscious festive abodes. Thanks to our lovely happydoodlers and their families for your support this year. Jane and Lian would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and very Happy New Year!

Seasons greetings doodlers! Been a while, I know!

Since our last update, a beautiful baby boy has joined the Powell clan. Jane is enjoying a well-earned maternity break, well... as much of a break as you can have with a baby! In the meantime things have been ticking over nicely for happydoodle. This summer we took part in an ‘Art Days’ event at The Downley School delivering a 2 day sculpture workshop. In September I started up a new lunch-time club for years 1-6, also at The Downley School. A busy term of work culminated in a fab exhibition yesterday, some of which is featured below. Well done to all our lunch-time Doodlers and thanks to all the parents/carers who attended, was great to see you all.

Getting in the Christmas mood, I visited 2 Reception classes recently to deliver our 'Stick Man' session. Some of the glitzy stick men and ladies are shown below.

Regrettably, we were unable to run our usual Christmas workshop this year, but hope to start up holiday workshops again on Jane’s return. We are both looking forward to the year ahead, the Downley School lunch-time art club will continue through the spring and summer terms.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and wish you all the best from us both in the new year!
