INVITATION TO kids
Kids Programs
Every Saturday we are delighted to have the Drop-in @ Areej:
They are based around allowing kids to discover themselves & the world around them, focusing on interests & talents, building their confidence and self-esteem through drawing and painting.
We believed all kids need to begin engaging in the pleasure of these simple yet inspiring drawing projects are a pencil and paper.
Along the way, new materials are introduced, giving kids the opportunity to experiment with new techniques. Each of the three main chapters—drawing from life, drawing from images, and inventive drawing—focuses on techniques to explore, such as observation, mark-making, shadow, line, composition, detail, contour, and perspective. Drawing Workshop for Kids strives to inspire children to investigate drawing and develop their own approach to art, building creativity and confidence
