Online Art Classes for Kids in Kenya
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.
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 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 EAT. Kenya is two and a half hours behind India with no daylight saving.
“The storytelling program transformed my shy son. Last month he confidently narrated a Panchatantra tale at his school assembly. The mentors are patient, warm and world-class.”

Especially then. Almost every child who says that has never been taught to observe, and observation is a skill rather than a gift. The change in the first month is the thing parents write to us about most.
