At BrainArt Studio, children aged 9–13 years follow a structured visual-art curriculum that develops drawing, painting, observation, colour, composition and creative expression. Children progressively explore artistic techniques, visual storytelling and more independent ways of creating artwork.

The 6–8 years program focuses primarily on building art foundations, including the Elements and Principles of Art and their practical application.

The 9–13 years program builds on those foundations with greater emphasis on drawing skills, observation, composition, techniques, perspective, visual storytelling and independent artistic expression.

Children are encouraged to apply what they learn rather than simply reproduce a teacher’s artwork.

It is a structured visual-art program, rather than a drawing-only class.

Drawing is an important component, but children also explore painting, colour, composition, different artistic techniques and selected hands-on projects. The objective is to develop a broader understanding of visual art.

Teachers may demonstrate techniques and processes step by step when introducing a new concept.

However, BrainArt does not follow a purely “copy the teacher’s drawing” approach. Demonstrations are used to help children understand techniques, after which they are encouraged to apply their learning and make their own creative decisions.

The curriculum progressively introduces Principles of Art such as balance, contrast, emphasis, rhythm, pattern, proportion, repetition and composition.

Children learn how these principles can be used to organise visual elements and communicate ideas through artwork.

Yes. Age-appropriate concepts such as proportion, scale, overlapping, spatial relationships and perspective can be introduced as children develop their drawing and composition skills.

These concepts help children represent objects and spaces with greater visual understanding.

Yes. Children may work with different drawing, painting and hands-on art materials depending on the concept and project.

The purpose of using different mediums is not simply to introduce more materials, but to help children understand how different techniques and materials can be used to create visual effects.

Artist studies and exposure to different artistic approaches can be incorporated into the curriculum. Children can observe how artists use colour, line, composition, technique and visual storytelling, and use these observations as inspiration for their own work.

Not necessarily.

A class may explore the same artistic concept or technique, but children are encouraged to make individual choices in their artwork. The focus is on understanding the concept and applying it creatively rather than producing identical finished pieces.

Yes. Children who already enjoy drawing can use the program to develop a more structured understanding of technique, composition, colour, observation and visual expression.

The curriculum gives them opportunities to move beyond drawing as an activity and develop a stronger foundation in visual art.

• A trial class allows the child and parent to experience the BrainArt classroom before enrolling.

  During the trial, the child gets an opportunity to sit through a class, follow instructions, interact with the teacher, experience the studio environment and understand the way the class is conducted.

  It also gives the teacher an opportunity to observe the child’s existing skills and response to the learning environment.

• BrainArt’s 9–13 years creative art classes are conducted offline at the BrainArt Studio in HSR Layout, Bangalore.
