Course Overview

Our after-school art programme offers a fun, structured space for children to unwind, create, and build skills at the end of the school day. We offer two complementary tracks: Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting, where children develop core skills such as observation, technique, shading, perspective, and color understanding; and Creative Art, where they explore mixed media, sculpture, textiles, printmaking, and imaginative projects inspired by themes, stories, and artists. Both tracks nurture confidence, expression, and artistic growth in different ways, and we highly encourage children to experience a mix of both. Combining strong technical foundations with creative exploration helps young artists become both skilled and imaginative in a warm, supportive environment.

Why This Class Matters

These weekly sessions help children decompress after school while tapping into their natural creativity. By focusing on process over perfection, children feel free to experiment, take risks, and build pride in their ideas — all within a nurturing, community-centered studio environment.
