Sketching Classes for Kids & Teens in Singapore

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.

Why families choose us

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.

Singapore is two and a half hours ahead of India and has the most academically loaded school week of anywhere we teach. Singaporean parents are usually explicit that they want something that does not add to the homework pile, which we take seriously when setting practice.

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

Weekly homework with genuine critique, not praise

Portfolio guidance for art-school or competition entry

Timings

Batch timings for Singapore

Live classes on SGT, scheduled around your week rather than ours.

Weekday 6:00 to 8:00 PM SGT, after school and before dinner, is the standard slot. Saturday mornings run as well and fill quickly. Practice for Singapore batches is deliberately kept to ten minutes a day, because these children genuinely do not have more.

Families come to us from across the island, and a good number found us because their child already learns Bharatanatyam and the shloka work was the missing half.

The curriculum

Sketching Classes for Kids & Teens, module by module

What a year of sketching classes for kids & teens actually covers, in the order we teach it.

01

Pencils and Value

H through 8B, and building a full value scale before drawing anything with it.

02

Form Under Light

Spheres, cylinders, drapery. Weeks of it, because everything else assumes it.

03

The Head

Loomis-style construction, features in proportion, and the specific errors that make a portrait look wrong.

04

Hands and Feet

The parts children hide. Blocked out, simplified and then drawn properly.

05

Perspective in Practice

A real room and a real street, measured and constructed rather than guessed.

06

Portfolio

Selecting, finishing and presenting work to a standard an art teacher would take seriously.

Prefer a room, paper and paint on a table?

Arts & Painting is the one class we teach in person as well as online. Offline batches run at our arts studio in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, with the same mentors and the same curriculum as the online batches. Families outside Bengaluru take the online batches, which cover the identical curriculum.

Getting started is easy

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 trial to what they can already do.

2. Free trial with 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 SGT. Weekday 6:00 to 8:00 PM SGT, after school and before dinner, is the standard slot.

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.

Questions

Sketching Classes for Kids & Teens in Singapore, FAQs

Ten to fifteen. Younger children are better served by our drawing class, which covers the same foundations at a gentler pace. This one assumes a child who already draws by choice.
