In our Painting and Drawing Class, we provide a nurturing and inspiring environment where children aged 10-14 can develop their artistic skills while fostering their imagination. Led by experienced art instructors, this program aims to empower young minds to explore diverse mediums, techniques, and styles to create stunning artworks.

​

During each session, our knowledgeable instructors guide students through a wide range of artistic concepts, encouraging them to experiment with various tools, materials, and methods. Whether it's wielding a paintbrush, using colored pencils, or even exploring mixed media, participants will gain a solid foundation in both traditional and contemporary art forms.

​

Our curriculum is carefully crafted to cater to different skill levels, allowing beginners to build a strong artistic foundation and more advanced students to refine their techniques. Through engaging projects and hands-on activities, participants will learn about composition, color theory, shading, perspective, and other essential elements of visual art.

​

In addition to technical skills, our painting and drawing class encourages self-expression and personal style development. We foster a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, where students can freely express their ideas, emotions, and unique perspectives through their artwork. Through group discussions and constructive feedback, they will also learn to appreciate and understand the artistry of their peers.

As part of the class, students will have the opportunity to explore various subjects, including still life, landscapes, portraits, and abstract art. They will learn how to observe and interpret their surroundings, experiment with different art styles, and develop their own artistic voice.

​

At the end of each session, we organize an informal art showcase, where students proudly present their creations to their fellow classmates, friends, and family members. This celebration of creativity fosters a sense of accomplishment and boosts self-confidence, encouraging students to continue their artistic journey beyond the classroom.
