The Art of Drawing: An Introductory Course

This introductory drawing course balances fun, creative activities with technique-building exercises to captivate children while developing drawing confidence and skill. Learning to draw plays a big role in our cognitive development. It can help kids learn to write and think creatively, develop hand-eye coordination, hone analytic skills, process emotions and conceptualize ideas.

Each child’s art submission will be curated into an online exhibition for all the parents to enjoy at the end of the week.
