At ArtKids Studio, we offer a variety of programs adapted for children of different ages and levels of training. Our classes are aimed at developing creative skills, self-confidence and individual style through exciting art lessons. Each program helps children immerse themselves in the world of creativity, learn to draw and create unique works, while developing their imagination and artistic thinking.
The "Mini-Masters" program was created specifically for the youngest artists aged 4 to 6 years. We understand that at this age it is important not only to teach children basic drawing techniques, but also to support their natural curiosity and interest in creativity through play. The main goal of the program is to make the learning process fun and unobtrusive, allowing children to master drawing skills in a comfortable and fun environment.
A playful approach to learning: The program is based on a
playful method that helps children learn new things more easily.
We conduct lessons in the form of creative games and simple
tasks that motivate children to experiment with color, shapes
and textures without fear of mistakes. Each lesson turns into a
small adventure, where drawing becomes an exciting game.
Basics
of shapes, lines and colors: During the classes, children are
introduced to the basic elements of art — shapes, lines
and colors. We teach kids to draw simple shapes (circles,
squares, triangles), which then help them create more complex
images. The classes are aimed at developing fine motor skills,
hand-eye coordination, and spatial thinking.
Working
with different materials: It is important for children to try
different techniques and materials to find what they like.
Pencils and wax crayons for the first steps in drawing;
Finger
paints — a fun way to express your emotions, drawing not
only with brushes, but also with your hands;
Watercolors
and gouache — children learn to mix colors, experiment
with bright shades and create colorful paintings.
Creative
topics and tasks: We offer tasks that stimulate children's
imagination and help them express their emotions through art.
For
example: Drawing favorite animals or characters from fairy
tales;
Creating fantasy landscapes with bright colors;
Working
with images of nature: sun, trees, flowers.
Developing
independence: An important part of the program is encouraging
children to work independently. We give them freedom in choosing
colors, themes and methods, which helps develop confidence in
their artistic abilities. Teachers guide and support the little
ones, creating an environment for safe and positive learning.
The
results and joy of creativity: At the end of each lesson,
children take home their little masterpieces, which fills them
with pride for the work done. We create an atmosphere in which
every child feels successful and talented, regardless of their
level of preparation. The main thing is the joy of the process
of creating art.
The "Mini Masters" program helps
children develop creativity, imagination and self-confidence
through fun and educational activities. We believe that each
little artist is a unique individual, and our task is to support
their interest in creativity, opening up a new, bright world of
art for them!
The "Young Artists" program is designed for children aged 7 to 12 who want to delve deeper into the world of art. This age is the ideal time to develop more complex artistic skills, such as working with colors, shapes and composition. The program is aimed at expanding children's knowledge of various drawing and painting techniques, as well as developing their creative thinking and visual literacy.
Drawing and graphic basics: At the beginning of training,
children master basic drawing skills: they learn to work with
simple shapes and lines, which allows them to gradually move on
to more complex images. Much attention is paid to hatching
techniques, creating volume through light and shadow,
perspective and building proportions. These skills help develop
precision and attention to detail.
Working with
simple shapes (circles, squares, triangles) and their
combination.

using hatching and shadows.
Painting Basics: Children get acquainted with various painting techniques and learn how to create bright, expressive paintings. We work with watercolors, gouache and acrylic, teach how to mix colors and create smooth transitions between shades. Young artists learn to control a brush and master various methods of applying paint to achieve different effects.

through the choice of colors and shades.

Composition and visual
perception: Composition is a key element in creating any

in a composition. Children learn how to use lines, shapes and
space to create interesting and dynamic compositions.
Construction of a composition taking into account perspective
and depth.
Working with different formats: vertical,

Introduction to

surrealism.
Discussion of works by famous artists for
inspiration.
Practical work and creativity: In each
lesson, children create their own art works using new techniques

fantasy scenes, working with different materials. This helps
them develop not only technical skills, but also their own
style.

imagination.
