Drawing course

Structured Drawing Course (Ages 12 – 17)

From stick figures to confident drawing.

Why learning to draw matters?

Drawing is more than a creative activity. Learning to draw helps young people develop skills that go far beyond the page.

Through structured drawing, students typically improve:

observation and attention to detail
focus and patience
problem-solving and visual thinking
hand–eye coordination
confidence through visible progress

Drawing teaches students how to slow down, look carefully, and trust a process – skills that support learning across many areas, not just art.

Who this course is for

complete beginners, including students starting at stick-figure level
children who feel they “can’t draw” but want to learn properly
students who benefit from clear structure and step-by-step guidance
young people willing to commit to a continuous course

Who this course is NOT for

students looking for drop-in or one-off sessions
children unable to attend regularly
those expecting quick tricks or instant results
students who prefer completely unstructured activities
