Basic Principles of Drawing For Kids
Overview
Join for a fun and creative 4-week drawing workshop designed for young artists aged 8–12!
Each week, participants will explore new techniques, materials, and subject matter, building their skills and confidence through hands-on drawing activities.
Week 1 – Drawing Basics: Still Life Learn how to see like an artist! This class will focus on proportion, shape, and tone using pencils.
Week 2 – Natural Forms with Charcoal Get messy and expressive! Kids will learn how to compose and draw from nature using bold, rich charcoal.
Week 3 – Personal Inspiration with Ink Time to get creative! Young artists will choose subjects they love and explore different ways to use ink in their drawings.
Week 4 – Portraits in Favourite Medium In the final week, kids will create a portrait using the medium they’ve enjoyed most — bringing together everything they’ve learned in a piece that’s uniquely theirs.
