Sketching Classes for Kids & Teens in the UAE
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.
Beyond Dubai, we teach families across Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah. The pattern is consistent across the Emirates: parents on long working hours, children in Indian curriculum schools, and a wish for something rooted that does not depend on a weekend drive.
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 the UAE
Live classes on GST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekend batches follow the UAE’s Saturday–Sunday weekend, with Friday afternoon slots after the half-day, alongside weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST batches. The one-and-a-half-hour offset from India means almost any slot works for both ends.
Abu Dhabi and Sharjah follow Dubai in numbers. Because the timezone is so convenient, UAE families are also the most likely to take two classes a week.
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 GST. Weekend batches follow the UAE’s Saturday–Sunday weekend, with Friday afternoon slots after the half-day, alongside weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST batches.
“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.”
