Sketching Classes for Kids & Teens in Chennai
Pencil sketching for children who want to get serious
By eleven or twelve, a child who likes drawing usually wants something the general art class does not give them: proper shading, faces that look like people, hands that are not hidden behind backs. This is that class. Graphite grades, value structure, portrait construction and perspective, taught at the pace of someone who intends to be good.

Pencil sketching for children who want to get serious
This is not the class for a child who draws occasionally and enjoys it. It is for the one filling sketchbooks and getting frustrated at the same plateau, usually faces and hands. Expect homework, expect weeks on value studies, and expect a visible change in about two months.
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.
Graphite grades and value structure taught properly
Portrait construction, so faces stop being guesswork
Weekly homework with genuine critique, not praise
Portfolio guidance for art-school or competition entry
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.
What your child walks away able to do
A recognisable, proportional portrait from a photograph
Drawing hands and drapery without avoidance
A sketchbook practice that continues without a class

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 sketching 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 IST. Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST, plus weekend morning batches.
“My daughter used to freeze on stage. After a few months of public speaking classes, she confidently delivered a speech at her school assembly. The mentors are patient and truly gifted.”
Sketching Classes for Kids & Teens in Chennai, FAQs
Yes, weekly, and it is checked. A sketch a day beats a marathon on Sunday. Children who skip it plateau, and the mentor will say so plainly rather than pretend otherwise.
