Sketching Classes for Kids & Teens in France
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.
France has a connection to India most countries do not: Puducherry was French until 1954, and a good number of Franco-Indian families, largely Tamil, have lived between the two countries since. They sit alongside a newer community of professionals in Paris, Toulouse and Lyon, and for both the children are usually being schooled entirely in French.
Graphite grades and value structure taught properly
Portrait construction, so faces stop being guesswork
Hands, feet and drapery, the things children avoid
Perspective applied to real interiors and streets
Batch timings for France
Live classes on CET, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:00 to 7:00 PM CET, which is 9:30 to 11:30 PM in India in winter and an hour earlier in summer, and Saturday mornings. Instruction is in English; mentors are used to children whose strongest school language is something else.
What your child walks away able to do
A recognisable, proportional portrait from a photograph
Full value range and convincing form
Drawing hands and drapery without avoidance

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 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 CET. Weekday 5:00 to 7:00 PM CET, which is 9:30 to 11:30 PM in India in winter and an hour earlier in summer, and Saturday mornings.
“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.”
Sketching Classes for Kids & Teens in France, FAQs
It is the commonest reason families in France come to this class. Anime style is fine, but the plateau comes from missing construction and value underneath it. Once those are in place, the style improves on its own.
