Service Description
🌸 Spring Sketching Classes 2026 for Kids 9-12 years old in Kitchener 📅 Saturdays | 10:00–11:00 AM 🗓️ April 11 – June 27, 2026 (11 classes) 📍 Downtown Kitchener Art Instructor: Marien de Freitas All Supplies Included Keep your child creative and inspired this spring! Our Spring Sketching Program for ages 9–12 blends strong drawing foundations with imagination and exploration. Students build confidence in sketching, sharpen observation skills, and learn how to express ideas through line, shading, and color. ✏️ Sketching Skills and Visual Thinking Each class offers a clear, step-by-step approach to sketching real and imaginative subjects — from spring still lifes and nature studies to animals, characters, and storytelling scenes. Kids learn how to observe, simplify forms, and build strong compositions using proportion and contour. 🎨 Dry Media Focus We work with graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, and soft/oil pastels. Students practice hatching, blending, and layering to create depth and texture, exploring light, shadow, and fresh spring color contrasts. 🧠 Creative Thinking and Personal Style Along with solid drawing techniques, kids are encouraged to experiment and develop their own artistic voice. Each project allows room for personal interpretation and imaginative expression. 🖼️ Every Session is Unique Every seasonal program brings fresh themes and projects. This spring’s topics include plants and flowers, animals and birds, outdoor scenes, and expressive use of line and texture. 🌍 Art History and Global Inspiration Students discover how artists around the world use sketching to explore nature, daily life, emotion, and storytelling. 🏡 Bright, Welcoming Studio Our downtown Kitchener studio is bright, airy, and inspiring — a perfect creative space for relaxed spring weekends. 🤝 Art + Community Students connect with peers who share their love for drawing and creativity, building confidence through shared artistic experiences. 🌟 Supportive Teaching Team Led by Marien and supported by an art assistant, ensuring guidance, encouragement, and hands-on help for every student.
