Warli Art Classes for Kids in France
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.
France has a connection to India most countries do not: Puducherry was French until 1954, and a good number of Franco-Indian families, largely Tamil, have lived between the two countries since. They sit alongside a newer community of professionals in Paris, Toulouse and Lyon, and for both the children are usually being schooled entirely in French.
Real narrative composition, not scattered stick figures
Traditional white-on-earth palette and the reason for it
Scales from a small panel to a wall at home
Fast visible success, which matters for reluctant children
Batch timings for France
Live classes on CET, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:00 to 7:00 PM CET, which is 9:30 to 11:30 PM in India in winter and an hour earlier in summer, and Saturday mornings. Instruction is in English; mentors are used to children whose strongest school language is something else.
What your child walks away able to do
Composing a Warli panel that reads as a scene
Fluency with the circle-triangle-line vocabulary
A large finished piece, often painted at home on a wall

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 CET. Weekday 5:00 to 7:00 PM CET, which is 9:30 to 11:30 PM in India in winter and an hour earlier in summer, and Saturday mornings.
“Living in California, we worried our kids would lose their roots. The online Shloka and Gita classes changed that. They chant every morning now, and understand what the words mean.”
Warli Art Classes for Kids in France, FAQs
Almost nothing. Brown paper or a brown-painted board, white poster colour and a thin brush. It is the cheapest module we teach, and deliberately so.
