Sketching Classes for Kids
K.I.S-Sketch program offers a meticulously structured pencil-sketch curriculum that guides children through every stage of skill development, from mastering line weight and tonal values to tackling still-life compositions. By following a clear, step-by-step learning process, young artists build fundamental motor skills and sharpen their observational acuity, ensuring they progress confidently regardless of their starting point.
Over three progressively challenging modules—Basic, Advance, and Life—students first learn line construction, pressure control, tonal shading, and 3D drawing before moving on to colour-pencil techniques, proportion and perspective, and finally advanced lighting methods and still-life rendering. This carefully sequenced journey not only reinforces technical proficiency at each phase but also nurtures a deeper understanding of artistic principles as children collaborate and learn together.
By the end of the course, every participant witnesses a tangible transformation in their drawing and sketching abilities, enjoying enhanced confidence and creative freedom. Armed with a robust sketching toolkit and strengthened observation skills, your child will be ready to explore any medium or style in the vast world of art—with the assurance that their artistic foundation is second to none.

DSA Program
Our 60-day DSA Art Portfolio program brings together cohorts of up to 12 students in focused, expert-led workshops—no one-on-one sessions—to spark creativity through group energy and shared feedback. This collaborative setting mirrors real artistic communities, fostering bold ideas and mutual inspiration.
Across four phases—Creative Foundations, Skill Building, Portfolio Development, and Final Polishing—students progress together from theme exploration and technical drills to portfolio curation and mock critiques that simulate real DSA panels. Each step is designed to refine skills, strengthen narrative flow, and build presentation confidence.
On Day 60, participants leave with a standout, panel-ready portfolio and the resilience to defend their artistic vision. Beyond admissions, they’ll gain lifelong creative habits, peer-networking skills, and the self-assurance to thrive in any art environment.
