Children and teenager’s classes

 

Kids classes

Classes come in five- or ten-session blocks, each session two hours. All materials are supplied, so parents don’t need to prepare anything. The course is for children aged seven and up, with activities paced for their attention and development. Sessions mix guided instruction and creative play to build skills, confidence, and enjoyment, whether in a five-week intro or a ten-session program.

All new students begin with a 2-hour drawing class. The first session focuses on observational drawing exercises covering measuring, proportions, and other foundational skills. This allows tutors to instruct while assessing each child’s current ability. The initial 2-hour session gives both the tutor and the child a clear understanding of how best to structure future classes.

After school and weekend

The classes provide a step-by-step guide that enables each child to develop artistic skills and knowledge at their own pace. A variety of mediums will be explored, including oils on canvas, charcoal, graphite pencils, pastels on paper, and collage.

Students will learn core fine-art practices: composition, perspective, tone, texture, contrast, color theory, pattern, and material manipulation. Lessons are structured to build technique, encourage creativity, and allow individualized progress through guided instruction and hands-on projects.

Art scholarship Portfolio for school

This course prepares children to create art portfolios (usually 8–13 pieces) for entrance exams or scholarships. Start at least a year before the deadline to develop skills and a unified body of work.

Focus:

  • Technical skills: drawing, painting, composition, colour, mixed media

  • Observation and creativity: still life, figure, landscape, imaginative work

  • Portfolio planning: themes, sequence, consistent visual style

  • Project practice with feedback

  • Mock assessments to simulate exam condition.
