Warli Art Classes for Kids in Switzerland
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.
Indian families in Switzerland are mostly in Zurich, Basel and Geneva, drawn by pharma, banking, research and the international organisations. Many are on multi-year postings, and children move between German- or French-language schooling and an international curriculum, so parents want one thing in the week that does not change when everything else does.
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

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 during European summer time, plus Saturday mornings.
“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 Switzerland, FAQs
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.
