Digital Art Classes for Kids & Teens in Dubai
Digital art, on top of real drawing skill
A tablet does not make a child a better artist, it makes a mediocre drawing faster to produce. So this class runs the fundamentals and the software together: construction and value on one side, layers, brushes and colour management on the other. What children want to make — characters, scenes, their own comics — is the vehicle for both.

Digital art, on top of real drawing skill
We will not spend the hour teaching menus. Software changes and the skill underneath does not, so roughly half of every class is drawing and half is doing it digitally. Children arriving with no traditional drawing experience are usually asked to take the pencil class alongside, and we will say so when you enquire.
Dubai is an hour and a half behind India and has one of the largest concentrated Indian communities anywhere in the world, so most families here already have plenty of cultural life. What they usually want from us is instruction — correct pronunciation, actual meaning, structured progress — rather than exposure.

Batch timings for Dubai
Live classes on GST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST works comfortably for both sides, and weekend batches run on Saturday and Sunday, the UAE weekend since 2022, with Friday afternoon slots for families whose working week ends at Friday lunch.
Families join from Bur Dubai, Karama, Al Barsha, Discovery Gardens and Dubai Silicon Oasis, and a fair number attend Indian curriculum schools where Sanskrit is offered but not taught in depth.

Arts & Painting runs in person at our arts studio in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, and, like every class of ours, at our HSR Layout centre, 243, 16th Main Road, Sector 3, HSR Layout, Bengaluru 560102. Both use the same mentors and the same curriculum as the online batches. Families outside Bengaluru take the online batches, which cover the identical curriculum.
Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For digital art classes for kids & teens that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for GST. Weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST works comfortably for both sides, and weekend batches run on Saturday and Sunday, the UAE weekend since 2022, with Friday afternoon slots for families whose working week ends at Friday lunch..
