Question 1

What age is suitable to start learning sketching?

Accepted Answer

Sketching can be learned at any age, and we tailor the approach to each student’s stage of development. However, we generally recommend starting from around age 9, when many children begin learning geometry at school and gradually develop stronger 3D spatial awareness. This helps them understand basic forms and structure—key foundations for sketching. Sketching can also support spatial reasoning, which may help students better understand geometry concepts.

Question 2

Who is this Sketch class for?

Accepted Answer

Our Sketch classes are designed for children and teens. Students are placed into age-appropriate groups, with a tailored learning pathway based on current level so progress is steady and visible.

Question 3

How is the Sketch program structured?

Accepted Answer

We teach through a structured, step-by-step curriculum that builds essential drawing fundamentals—observation, proportion, line quality, perspective (one-point, two-point and three-point perspective), shading, form, texture, and composition. Students progress from single geometric forms to multiple-form construction, from geometric plaster casts to irregular objects, from objects to the human figure, and from copying studies to real-life drawing (drawing from observation), with clear goals each term so progress is visible over time.

Question 4

Can my child start as a complete beginner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Beginners start with foundations and progress step-by-step. We adjust the pace and exercises based on the student’s age and current ability.

Question 5

Do you offer a trial class? How does it work and how much is it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The trial class fee is $22. Trial classes are arranged inside a regular scheduled class (where there is an available space), so students can experience the real class environment before enrolling. All art materials are provided for the trial class, so it’s completely hassle-free—students can simply come and try.

Question 6

What materials do students need for the Sketch class?

Accepted Answer

For sketching, students should prepare the following basic materials:

Pencils: 6B, 4B, 2B, HB, 2H (one of each)
One soft eraser: kneaded eraser
One standard hard eraser
