For those who have extra space at home, children loves a home space where they can create to their hearts desire! This space can usually be combined with the home work station.

We usually do not assign home work for our younger learners but do expect full participation in classroom activities. Different techniques are taught in class and learners are expected to try utilizing these techniques throughout their drawing. By participating in class, learners will catch onto a variety of art knowledge and skill to be incorporated into their art repertoire.

We guide students to develop a love for the arts and inspire them to create through increased drawing abilities. Students will be taught the fundamentals of art including

• lines
• colors
• compositions
• basic techniques

through a variety of mediums. All the above-mentioned will assist in the development of imagination, creativity, and storytelling through art.

Practice makes perfect! Artistic skills is no exception. By taking what is taught in the studio and applying to daily practices and school projects learners should see a gradual change in work quality.

We recommend younger learners to start a visual diary recorded through drawings. This can include, events, activities, social interactions, feelings and emotions. Between 20 – 30 minutes of practice a day is ample to hone basic drawing techniques.

We completely understand that every learner is different and that the speed at which learners pick up contents is all based on the individual. Our small class sizes of no more than 6:1 learner instructor ratio allow individual learners to follow their own pace of learning. Learners work on their on independent projects once teaching outlines are provided we will assist students on completing these projects and will explain thoroughly to learners regarding techniques.
