Art Classes for Children

“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child”

– Pablo Picasso

The ben­e­fits of art for chil­dren are man­i­fold. It is a great stress buster; encour­ages a growth mind­set, cre­ative think­ing and prob­lem solv­ing; devel­ops fine motor skills and helps chil­dren to be more pro­duc­tive, calm and focused.

I teach art for chil­dren Ages (6–16) after school. My class­es are a mix of tra­di­tion­al art tech­niques com­bined with a con­tem­po­rary approach that is enjoy­able, acces­si­ble and fun for all ages. Each term we focus on a new theme. We explore dif­fer­ent media and tech­niques using a step-by-step approach, to ensure that the chil­dren devel­op a range of artis­tic skills. The groups are always small to ensure that chil­dren get indi­vid­ual atten­tion. The aim of my class­es is to nur­ture cre­ativ­i­ty in chil­dren in a hap­py relaxed environment.

“My daugh­ter Amber has been going to Sai’s art class­es for a cou­ple of years now.  She absolute­ly loves it and it’s her favourite after school activ­i­ty.  The work Amber has pro­duced has been real­ly impres­sive. Sai teach­es a huge­ly diverse range of tech­niques. With most pieces being a com­bi­na­tion of lay­ered process­es which are devel­oped over a num­ber of weeks. The out­come is often extra­or­di­nary.   I have framed quite a few of her best pieces which are proud­ly dis­played in our house.”

“Sai is a great teacher.  She has giv­en Chris­tine new con­fi­dence… my daugh­ter has made amaz­ing progress in a short space of time, and, best of all, she real­ly enjoys the lessons with Sai. We are very glad to have found such a great teacher for Chris­tine and would high­ly rec­om­mend her to others.”

“One of the high­lights of Sai’s art class is the annu­al Sum­mer Exhi­bi­tion.  The chil­dren have the fan­tas­tic oppor­tu­ni­ty to pub­licly dis­play their best pieces.  Includ­ing a giant col­lab­o­ra­tive work by all the stu­dents which nor­mal­ly takes up an entire wall in the gallery.  The chil­dren real­ly enjoy the pri­vate view­ing when they can show us all the work they have been work­ing so hard to pro­duce over the year.  And it’s a love­ly oppor­tu­ni­ty for us par­ents to glow with pride!”

“The envi­ron­ment Sai pro­vides for every­one to devel­op their art skills is a warm and wel­com­ing. The class­es have been valu­able for chan­nel­ing my daughter’s emo­tion­al needs, and enhanc­ing her cre­ativ­i­ty. I have been amazed at my daugh­ters pro­gres­sion, and I am grate­ful for Sai’s con­tin­ued sup­port and guidance.”

“From my first les­son up until now, it’s been an absolute­ly amaz­ing artis­tic jour­ney with Sai! I look for­ward to my les­son every week and enjoy every minute of it! Sai always encour­ages me to be more cre­ative and has taught me how to work beyond my com­fort zone.”

“My daugh­ter has been under Sai’s guid­ance for 3+ years. Sai encour­ages kids to try new things look­ing beyond their com­fort zone, with a pos­i­tive approach. It has been real­ly excit­ing for my daugh­ter to show­case her works in the annu­al art exhi­bi­tion with the class. The group is so relaxed and friend­ly, a real stress buster for my child. Recent­ly my younger one has also joined Sai’s art lessons and absolute­ly enjoy­ing it.”
