Class is for children aged 7-10 who aspire to become future artists, are looking to improve their drawing abilities, or simply want to discover a new and challenging activity.

Not just another class, we take the question "how to draw for kids?" seriously. We have a proven track record of teaching adults and children to draw.

Kids learn to draw using line, basic geometric shapes, shading and the essentials of color. Students work on a variety of images and subjects, stimulate their curiosity and encourage their creativity.

The format is fun and relaxed with a snack break.
