Warli Art Classes for Kids in Jayanagar, Bangalore
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.
Real narrative composition, not scattered stick figures
The best folk form for younger children, from five up
Strong grounding in shape, rhythm and repetition
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 Jayanagar
Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST, built around Jayanagar school hours, plus weekend morning batches. Our offline Arts & Painting batches also run here in Jayanagar, so this is the one area where a family can choose a room instead of a screen.
Jayanagar is one of our two strongest catchments. Families come from every block, and a fair number are households where an older generation lives in the same house and takes an active interest in what the child is learning.
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
A large finished piece, often painted at home on a wall

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. If Jayanagar is within a sensible drive, tell us and we will send the current offline batch timings.

Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For warli art classes for kids 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 IST. Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST, built around Jayanagar school hours, plus weekend morning batches.
Warli Art Classes for Kids for families in Jayanagar
Jayanagar is one of Bengaluru’s oldest planned neighbourhoods, laid out in numbered blocks and still one of the most tradition-minded parts of the city. It is the kind of place where a child growing up with shlokas is entirely normal, and where families come to us asking for exactly that.
Jayanagar is a straight run north from our base off Kanakapura Road, which is why so many of our earliest families came from these blocks.
Around here: Jayanagar 4th Block Shopping Complex · Ashoka Pillar · Madhavan Park · South End Circle · Jayanagar metro station (Green Line)

“My son now begins every day with his shlokas, chanting them perfectly, and actually understanding what they mean. What moved me most is how much calmer and more focused he has become.”

Five, comfortably. It is the folk form we recommend first, because the vocabulary is three shapes and a young child can produce something genuinely good in the first class rather than an approximation.
