Drawing and Painting Class for Children – Upon Request

Book private art classes for your children and teenagers. Classes takes place at the studio, I can accommodate up to 6 children. A perfect after school activity if you wish your child to learn how to draw and paint. And a fun art activity if you are visiting Paris.

For security reasons, I don’t take children out on the street. If you wish to set up plein air art classes, or draw at a cafe, don’t hesitate to set up your class as a family activity: it is then possible to sketch outside.

Children will improve on technique, observation skills, drawing accuracy, basic skills of drawing and painting, but also creativity and imagination.

I help each child according to their age and aims.

This art class for children explores different art mediums, combining observation and imagination

Children can study:

1. Observation drawing: observing shapes, creating colors and values, improving drawing accuracy. Using acrylic paint. Composing still lives and portraits.

2. Illustration and imaginary work: illustrating stories and creating comic strips. Learning how to draw the human body, facial expressions, perspective, in order to create spaces and figures.

3. Art journal and mixed media: creating images, using collage, texture effects, patterns, paint. If your children are interested in art journal, combining text and images, I can teach them how to create a Travel Sketchbook.

4. Introduction to Art History: after studying works by different artists, creating works “in the manner of”. Copying artworks.

5. Creative modeling: making 3D objects with paper or salt dough. You may also purchase and bring a support (plain mask, canvas board…).
