Kids Course 8.5–14 years
A unique program of art instruction for kids aged 8.5–14 years old
Atelier noun. A studio especially for an artist. A workplace for the teaching or practice of an art.
All kids should be able to draw
The Atelier method for kids aged 8.5-14 years is a structured, age specific art course.
Kids learn maths, reading and writing using step by step methods. This prescriptive style of learning allows them to develop foundational skills to build on for the future. The same applies with ART. Our step by step method of DRAWING and PAINTING is a developmental stage kids need to master. It will promote imagination, creativity and problem solving as they are then equipped with the necessary skills to express their ideas pictorially. Einstein sketched his inventions first adding words and process later.
Many parents and kids wrongly believe that drawing requires a special talent or ability. Drawing is a skill that definitely can be taught and learnt proficiently.
Although this art course is conducted in a class format each child works on their own tailored program and at their own pace.
By part 5 of the Atelier Method, kids work independently using their applied knowledge and self expression with especially designed projects. By the time they reach the Master Class, they are creating their own original works of art.
The Atelier Method really works!
