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.
