Art Classes for Primary School Children — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Artgrain's Foundation Art programme?
Foundation Art is our structured art class for primary school children aged 7 to 10, and the most popular programme at Artgrain. Students mainly work in acrylic painting while building the core skills of drawing, observation and composition.
What will my child learn in Foundation Art?
Children learn to draw observationally — understanding form and capturing tone and texture — and are introduced to acrylic painting and the basic elements of art. They also learn composition and conceptualisation techniques to plan their own artworks.
What art mediums does my child use?
Students work mainly in acrylic painting, and also try a wide variety of both dry and wet mediums across the programme.
Does my child need previous art experience?
No. Foundation Art is designed to lay the groundwork for later art-making, starting from the building blocks of art and painting. Classes are individualised, and teachers customise references to each child's ability and interests.
What subjects or themes will my child paint?
Students progress through a series of themes including still life, landscapes and animals, developing observational skill and control of the medium while exploring different artistic styles and art movements.

Each session runs 1.5 hours. A trial lesson is $41, and a module of 10 weekly lessons is $410. A one-time registration fee, deposit, Artgrain Journal and annual material fee apply.
