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.
This is an ongoing monthly class, so your child can jump in any month, and can keep learning through the year!
Toward the end of the year in May or June we aim at having a student show for the students so they can show off what they have done!
