Our WonderKids' arts programme advocates the use of inquiry-based discussions that will encourage your child to express their individual thoughts, ideas and feelings. Our lessons use the Elements of Art as a foundation to hone a child’s observation and technical skills. We seek to develop all of our WonderKids into little artists that are familiar with both traditional & contemporary artists and art mediums.
Throughout the year, your child will develop a greater appreciation of the world through our WonderKids art lessons where they will experience painting, drawing, sketching, colouring and more. Through the WonderKids arts for kids programme, you can expect your child to bloom into a confident and independent art maker.

What happens during our WonderKids class?
Art Classes for Kids
Each WonderKids lesson lasts for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The lesson structure for WonderKids art classes for children aged 4 years to 12 years old begins with the introduction of themes and an active inquiry-based discussion. The lessons have been designed to spark your child’s curiosity and to encourage peer learning.

Your child will then spend time on narrative building and exploring the various mediums. The process is equally important as the final artwork - so our students begin this exploration of material and story in their sketchbook, collecting ideas, thoughts and techniques!
We strive to develop your child’s creative and technical abilities, resulting in a balanced artist with a strong foundation. We believe in moulding children to draw independently without guidance.
Occasionally, we bring learning outside of the classroom, bringing students out of the studio for urban sketching and observing the world around them.

After which, kids begin on their final artwork for the lesson, where we focus on drawing out your child’s narratives in their artwork.
Here, we also bring out art concepts using elements of art: noticing shapes, colours, textures, lines, form, value, space and more.
WonderKids will also have the opportunity for simple sharing and show and tell amongst peers.

Processed-Based Learning
We provide a sketchbook for students to explore the theme, materials and storytelling before starting on the final artwork. This gives them time to develop their ideas before jumping into the final artwork. Hence, our lessons are on a project basis that could span 2 to 4 weeks as we encourage independent artwork making.
Exploring Art Mediums & Materials
Our curriculum is designed to include a wide variety of mediums for children to explore. E.g., dry mediums such as charcoal, pencil, chalk pastels, oil pastels, colour pencils, pen. Wet mediums such as chinese ink, watercolour paint, acrylic paint, batik dye. 3D materials such as clay, recycled materials, natural materials, plasticine and more.
