Digital Art Classes for Kids & Teens in Kenya
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.
Kenya’s Indian community traces back to the building of the Uganda Railway in the 1890s and to Gujarati and Punjabi traders who followed it, and many Kenyan Asian families have been in Nairobi and Mombasa for four or five generations. Gujarati is often still spoken at home; Sanskrit usually is not, and that is the gap parents here tend to name.

Batch timings for Kenya
Live classes on EAT, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Kenya is two and a half hours behind India with no daylight saving. Weekday 5:00 to 7:00 PM EAT is 7:30 to 9:30 PM in India, comfortable on both sides, and Saturday mornings run as well.

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 EAT. Kenya is two and a half hours behind India with no daylight saving.
“The Ramayana classes are the highlight of my daughter’s week. She now teaches us the values she learns. As NRI parents in Dubai, this connection to our culture is priceless.”
