About Art Classes for Children
Why We Do What We Do
At KD School of Arts, art is about happiness and letting kids be themselves. I want every child to feel like they belong here, whether they’re shy or super chatty. We keep things light - no strict rules, just encouragement and a chill group vibe. Even birthdays get a splash of colour with us.
What Kids Get To Try
We cover loads of stuff, so kids never get bored:
- Drawing and sketching - think doodles, still life, cool cartoon characters, and even Zentangle pen art
- Painting with oil pastels and watercolours - vibrant landscapes, festival themes, and animal art
- Clay modelling - messy hands, wild imagination, and colourful sculptures
Beyond The Classroom
I take learning outside whenever possible. Our outdoor art sessions in the park are a hit, especially when the weather behaves. Kids have joined national art competitions and sometimes bring home trophies - not gonna lie, super proud moments! Trips to art fairs like Chitra Santhe keep everyone inspired.
We mix it up with fun themes - Ganesh Chaturthi, Sankranti, or even Chandrayaan mission art. Every class feels fresh.

My Story
Hey, welcome to my KD School of Art! I started this place just to spread the happiness I get from painting and sketching. Still do my own practice, you’ll catch me doing live demos for adults sometimes. The best part for me? Watching students, from tiny ones to grown-ups, get excited and win awards. We’re always laughing, celebrating festivals, and just having a blast in class. Grateful for every parent and student who’s joined our gang.
My Work
Art classes for kids and adults - We teach everything - oil pastel workshops for kids, pencil sketching, watercolor, clay modeling, and architectural art training.
Fun group art sessions - Learning is cool, but having fun together is even better. Even little kids pick up shading and lighting.
Student achievements - Our students win national awards, school competitions, and ace art exams. We celebrate every win!
Outdoor painting studies - Not stuck in classrooms - we go out, paint from life, and get inspired by the world around us.
