Online Art Classes for Kids in Chennai
Art classes that teach technique and India’s own traditions
Most children’s art classes are one of two things: a craft hour where everyone makes the same thing, or a Western fundamentals course that treats Indian art as a decorative afterthought. We teach both halves properly. Observation, line, proportion and colour as real technique, and Warli, Madhubani, Rangoli and Kalamkari as real disciplines with their own rules.

Art classes that teach technique and India’s own traditions
The test of an art class is whether a child improves at drawing, not whether they come away with something fridge-worthy. Mentors work on grip, proportion and observation from the first class, and because batches are small they can see each child’s page on screen and correct it while the pencil is still moving.
Chennai has the deepest existing culture of shloka and Carnatic learning of any city we teach into, and parents here ask the most exacting questions about pronunciation and swara. We take that as a compliment and as a standard, and mentors are candid about which of our classes adds something for a child who is already learning at home.
Drawing fundamentals taught as skill, not as talent
Small batches, so the mentor sees each drawing as it happens

Batch timings for Chennai
Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST, plus weekend morning batches. Timings are set with the sabha and Carnatic class calendar in mind, since many of our Chennai children have both.
Families come to us from Mylapore, Adyar, Besant Nagar, Anna Nagar, Velachery and OMR. Kalamkari has particular resonance here, and we teach it with its Andhra and Tamil temple-cloth context rather than as a generic craft.

Prefer a room, paper and paint on a table?
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. If Chennai is within a sensible drive, tell us and we will send the current offline batch timings.
Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For online art classes for kids 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 IST. Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST, plus weekend morning batches.
“My son now begins every day with his shlokas, chanting them perfectly, and actually understanding what they mean. What moved me most is how much calmer and more focused he has become.”
Online Art Classes for Kids in Chennai, FAQs
Better than most parents expect. The mentor’s hands and paper are on screen throughout, and with a small batch they can see each child’s page and fix a grip or a proportion in the moment. Families who would rather have a room can join in-person arts batches at our HSR Layout centre or our Jayanagar arts studio in Bengaluru.
