Little artists, big ideas – painting courses for children aged 8–10
Why are our painting courses ideal for children aged 8 to 10?
Our drawing courses for children aged 8-10 foster your child’s creative development and enhance their artistic skills. In the lessons, children will learn the basics of drawing and experiment with various techniques and materials, such as pencil, watercolor, gouache, and more. We offer exciting and diverse projects that strengthen fine motor skills, imagination, and concentration.
Each lesson includes practical exercises as well as theoretical content, where children will learn the fundamentals of composition, color, and form. We place special emphasis on an individual approach, allowing each child to develop new skills at their own pace.
The lessons are designed in a playful way, making learning both educational and enjoyable for the children. We guarantee that every class will not only be informative but also fun!

Duration of the Lessons
You can choose the option that suits your child best: we offer packages of 10 or 20 lessons.
You simply select a weekday and time that works well for you – your child will then attend class at this fixed time every week.
Regular attendance helps them stay engaged and continue growing creatively.
If your child misses a class, no problem: they may attend twice in one week during the course period to make up for the missed session, if there are available spots in the groups.
Please note: missed classes are not rescheduled or carried over to future weeks.
You’re welcome to book a trial lesson (available once) to get to know us and our teaching approach.
Please note that we do not offer single/drop-in lessons, as our program is designed for continuous learning in a course structure.
What Happens During the Lessons?
Our lessons follow a unique, in-house program designed with children's age and skill levels in mind. We offer classes for two age groups: 8–10 years and 11+ years. Step by step, kids learn the fundamentals of drawing, composition, and painting.
The program is designed to span several years, giving each child the time and space to grow at their own pace — with no pressure, just joy in creativity.
We create a warm, supportive atmosphere where children feel confident and free to express themselves through art.
You’re welcome to explore the full curriculum in our studio — we’d be happy to show you around and answer any questions!
Children are free to take breaks during class at any time. Fresh fruit is always available in our studio, so our young artists can recharge and stay inspired.
Holiday camp
Every day we start new creative projects: ceramics, making organic soap, candles, scented wax hangers, and painting with liquid acrylic paints. There's also a daily art lesson where the children can try out different materials and techniques. They can paint with watercolors and tempera, have time for free drawing, and participate in lessons where the teacher explains drawing techniques.
Every day, the children play on the playground several times, and we organize fun sporting activities like tug-of-war, sack races, and other team games that help them make new friends. We provide healthy snacks, fruit, vegetables, and delicious lunches. All your child needs to bring is a water bottle. We'll take care of the rest!
