Sketching Classes for Kids & Teens in Trinidad and Tobago
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.
Indians arrived in Trinidad as indentured labourers from 1845, mostly from the Bhojpuri-speaking villages of eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, and Indo-Trinidadians are now around a third of the country. Divali is a national holiday and village Ramleela is still performed; what has largely been lost over five generations is the language, and parents come to us to give their children the Sanskrit and Hindi behind traditions they already live.

Batch timings for Trinidad and Tobago
Live classes on AST (UTC−4), scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Trinidad is nine and a half hours behind India. A weekday after-school slot would fall in the Indian small hours, so we are plain about it: Saturday and Sunday morning batches, 8:00 to 10:00 AM local, are what we offer, landing in the Indian evening.
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 AST (UTC−4). Trinidad is nine and a half hours behind India.
“Timezone was our biggest worry. Smriti Samskara made it effortless, the Mahabharata class fits perfectly into our London evenings, and the storytelling quality is simply exceptional.”
