Online Art Classes for Kids in the UAE
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.
Beyond Dubai, we teach families across Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah. The pattern is consistent across the Emirates: parents on long working hours, children in Indian curriculum schools, and a wish for something rooted that does not depend on a weekend drive.
Drawing fundamentals taught as skill, not as talent

Batch timings for the UAE
Live classes on GST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekend batches follow the UAE’s Saturday–Sunday weekend, with Friday afternoon slots after the half-day, alongside weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST batches. The one-and-a-half-hour offset from India means almost any slot works for both ends.
Abu Dhabi and Sharjah follow Dubai in numbers. Because the timezone is so convenient, UAE families are also the most likely to take two classes a week.

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 GST. Weekend batches follow the UAE’s Saturday–Sunday weekend, with Friday afternoon slots after the half-day, alongside weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST batches.
“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.”

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.
