Learning through drawing and painting
Young students practise basic art skills as they work on projects. These may include making lines and shapes, adding colour, using a brush, and arranging parts of a picture. The teacher gives step-by-step guidance so children can follow the project and make their own choices.
Art lessons can suit children who enjoy drawing, painting, cartoons, or creative projects. A child does not need to know how to draw before joining.
