The activity

Drawing, explained

Drawing classes teach children to look closely and put what they see on paper. Pupils usually start with pencil and charcoal: simple shapes, shading, still life, then landscapes, faces and figures. Over time they add pen and ink, and often move on to paint. Drawing builds patience, hand control and observation, and it is the base for painting, illustration, design and school art portfolios. Many children start with guided drawing at around five or six, and structured sketching from life suits older children and teenagers. In a small studio, the teacher can correct each pupil's work at the easel and set exercises at their own level.

Who it's for

The website doesn't set age bands for any class. It lists GCSE and IGCSE art and design portfolio preparation, which suits secondary-school pupils, and its instrument classes run from the basics up to an advanced level. Ask the studio whether a class suits younger children.

What to expect

The website describes each class by its materials and subjects rather than by session. Drawing and sketching covers still life, landscape, portraits and figure drawing in graphite pencil, charcoal and pen and ink. The painting master class works in watercolour, acrylic, oil and mixed media. The oud and violin classes start with holding posture and basic technique, then build up music theory, scales and reading music. The site doesn't publish session length, group size, a trial class or what to bring, so ask the studio about these when you message.
