Sketching Classes for Kids & Teens in Kolkata
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.
Kolkata parents are, in our experience, the most likely to arrive already reading the epics to their children at home and looking for someone to take the questions further than they can. That is a good starting point and a demanding one, and the discussion-heavy classes — Mahabharata, moral stories — tend to suit these batches best.
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 Kolkata
Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST and weekend mornings. Because Kolkata is slightly east, an earlier evening slot often suits families better, and we can arrange it.
Salt Lake, New Town, Ballygunge, Behala and Howrah are where most of our Kolkata families are. We schedule around the Durga Puja weeks rather than running classes into them.
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. If Kolkata 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 and weekend mornings.
“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.”
