SATURDAY CLASSES IN ART & ARCHITECTURE
FOR KIDS (age 8-12)
Our Saturday classes take place in the fall and spring semester and are an ideal way for children to come together, connect, communicate, and develop their creative imaginations while exploring various art forms and techniques. Our program are carefully structured to ensure imaginative and enriching artistic experiences for each semester. It consist of thematic tasks that are combined into blocks, allowing children to gradually delve deeper into the chosen theme as they progress through the classes. Students will be shown films that suggest new approaches they can use, followed by lectures provided on each topic. The children then have the opportunity to sketch their ideas and bring them to life through drawing, painting or 3D layout. Children not only study painting, graphics, and different artistic methods, but they will also discover ideas that touch on architecture, history, geography, literature, and music through visual arts.
