Warli Art Classes for Kids in Dubai
Warli, the whole world drawn from three shapes
Warli is built from a circle, a triangle and a line, and out of those three shapes the Warli people of Maharashtra draw harvests, weddings, hunts and the tarpa dance. For a child it is the clearest possible lesson in how much you can say with very little, and it is the one folk form a five-year-old can genuinely do well.

Warli, the whole world drawn from three shapes
Because Warli looks simple, it is usually taught as a stick-figure exercise. What gets lost is that it is narrative art — every panel is a scene with people doing something together. We teach the vocabulary and then the composition, so the child ends up telling a story rather than scattering figures.
Dubai is an hour and a half behind India and has one of the largest concentrated Indian communities anywhere in the world, so most families here already have plenty of cultural life. What they usually want from us is instruction — correct pronunciation, actual meaning, structured progress — rather than exposure.
Real narrative composition, not scattered stick figures
The best folk form for younger children, from five up
Scales from a small panel to a wall at home
Fast visible success, which matters for reluctant children
Batch timings for Dubai
Live classes on GST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST works comfortably for both sides, and weekend batches run on Saturday and Sunday, the UAE weekend since 2022, with Friday afternoon slots for families whose working week ends at Friday lunch.
Families join from Bur Dubai, Karama, Al Barsha, Discovery Gardens and Dubai Silicon Oasis, and a fair number attend Indian curriculum schools where Sanskrit is offered but not taught in depth.
What your child walks away able to do
Composing a Warli panel that reads as a scene
Fluency with the circle-triangle-line vocabulary
Understanding of rhythm and repetition in composition

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 warli art classes for kids 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. Weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST works comfortably for both sides, and weekend batches run on Saturday and Sunday, the UAE weekend since 2022, with Friday afternoon slots for families whose working week ends at Friday lunch..
“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.”
Warli Art Classes for Kids in Dubai, FAQs
The figures are simple; the art is in the composition. A Warli panel is a scene, harvest, wedding, dance, with figures arranged in rhythm. Teaching only the figures is the usual mistake, and it is why so much "Warli for kids" work looks empty.
