from $150.00
Tuition Level:

Learning to Draw What You See is a five-week drawing course for children ages 8–11 that focuses on observational drawing and building confidence through foundational skills.

Many kids at this age begin to want their drawings to look realistic but haven’t been taught how to achieve that. This course teaches students how to slow down, really look at what’s in front of them, and draw what they see rather than what they think they see.

Students learn core drawing skills including:

  • Observational drawing

  • Breaking objects into simple shapes

  • Proportion and spatial relationships

  • Contour line drawing

  • Basic shading and light

Designed for beginners and developing artists, this class helps children understand how drawing works so they can draw more accurately, fix mistakes, and feel confident continuing their art practice.

No prior drawing experience is required.
