Headstart Art: Art Class for 5 & 6 Year Olds

Designed specifically for the highly curious and creative 5 and 6 year olds. Each lesson encourages children to be conscious of the world we live in, and allows them to express their ideas through creating meaning and stories in their artwork.

Our art classes for 5 and 6 year olds in Singapore give young children a structured start in drawing and painting. In Headstart Art, lessons are built around familiar themes — the playground, the zoo, the underwater world — so children learn brush handling, colour mixing and design principles while telling their own stories through art. It is the natural next step after preschool art, and a strong foundation before primary school.

Headstart Art

Art Class for Pre-Schoolers

Our Headstart Art Class is composed of thematic lessons (such as Playground / Underwater world / Zoo, interesting subjects that the children like and see daily) through the understanding of Design Principles.

This program encourages children to be more conscious of the world we live in, as well as creating meaning and stories out of their artwork.

Children will learn important building blocks in the understanding and appreciation of Art.

Art Classes for 5 & 6 Year Olds — Frequently Asked Questions

What is Artgrain's Headstart Art programme?

Headstart Art is our art class for children aged 5 and 6. Lessons are built around themes children see every day — such as the playground, the zoo or the underwater world — and teach them to draw, paint and tell stories through their artwork.

Is Headstart Art suitable for a child with no art experience?

Yes. Headstart is designed as a starting point for 5 and 6 year olds. Children learn the building blocks of art step by step, including basic brush handling, colour introduction and colour mixing.

What is the difference between Seedling Art and Headstart Art?

Seedling Art is for ages 2.5 to 4 and focuses on fine motor skills, shapes, lines and mark making. Headstart Art is for ages 5 to 6 and goes further — children learn design principles and use art to express ideas and tell stories.

What will my child learn in Headstart Art?

Children learn to draw and paint, handle a brush, and mix colours. They also learn design principles such as balance, contrast, emphasis, pattern and unity, and use them to organise their ideas into artworks that communicate a story.

Do parents stay in the classroom during the lesson?

No — all our classes, including preschool classes, are drop-off and not accompanied by parents. This helps children settle into the class routine and build independence with their teacher.

What is the Artgrain Headstart Booklet?

It is a workbook created by our teachers for preschool students, used during class. It contains structured exercises with clear lesson objectives and visual tools to support your child's learning, and costs $23.
