Taylors Lakes, Melbourne | Ages 5+ | Beginners to Intermediate
At Wild at Art KIDS, our focus is on nurturing each child’s creative voice while teaching solid drawing skills and techniques. In every class, our artists learn new drawing methods, explore different mediums, build confidence and develop their own style — all with the gentle guidance and support of our passionate teachers.
Our students quickly discover that everyone is an artist — what makes the difference is having time, guidance and the opportunity to practise, explore and learn the techniques that bring their ideas to life. And just like learning to ride a bike, drawing grows through practice, patience and the courage to simply give it a go.
What Makes Our Drawing Classes Different
Our kids drawing classes balance skill-building and creative freedom. We teach essential drawing techniques — from line, shape and proportion to shading and perspective — while encouraging each artist to follow their own interests and imagination.
Each session combines:
- Skill development: Foundations in drawing and technique that grow with each term your child is with us
- Personal expression: Space for each child to explore their own style, ideas and subject matter
- Individual guidance: Our experienced teachers tailor instruction to each student’s age, ability, interests and learning style.
We meet kids where they’re at — and guide them to extend their skills while keeping the joy of creating alive in every session.
Age groupings for our kids drawing classes (Updated for 2026)
We had lots of new artists (younger and older) join our studio in 2025 . So for 2026, we’re adjusting our age groups to further support how children learn, focus and create at different ages. This will help us offer the right balance of skills, freedom and challenge for each age group.
The new groupings for kids drawing classes in our Taylors Lakes studio are:
- Ages 5–6 – building confidence, coordination and creative thinking through fun, achievable projects, that also offer scope for individual expression and style
- Ages 7-9 – strengthening technical skills while encouraging imagination and experimentation
- Ages 9+ and 10+ – developing more advanced skills, personal projects and creative independence
We also offer small class sizes. This means each student receives individual attention and support, ensuring they continue to grow at their own pace within the new groupings.
Why Drawing Matters
Drawing isn’t just about making pictures — it’s about learning to see differently.
Through drawing, kids learn to observe, plan, make decisions and express themselves visually. They gain persistence, patience and problem-solving skills that extend far beyond the page.
Most importantly, they learn that art is a process — full of discovery, curiosity and joy.

Mondays & Wednesdays
Dive into Drawing
Our Ages 5–6 drawing class is a fun and colourful introduction to drawing. Children explore simple skills like shapes, lines and textures through playful projects that feel more like “making” than formal lessons.
We use lots of kid-friendly tools—oil pastels, sketching & watercolour pencils, charcoal and paint sticks — so young artists can experiment freely.
Projects are short, hands-on and joyful, with plenty of choice and movement to suit younger attention spans. The focus is on building confidence, trying new things and enjoying the process, not creating perfect drawings.
This class is gentle, relaxed and full of creativity. A lovely first step for young children who love to draw and make art.

Our Ages 7–9 drawing class offers a great combination of learning new drawing skills and keeping art fun, playful and creative. Children at this age can focus for longer and are ready for more technique, but still enjoy exploring and adding their own ideas.
We’ll introduce simple techniques like shading, proportion, perspective and observation — through engaging, child-friendly projects that cover a variety of styles and subjects. In Term 1, artists will explore character design, flip-book animations, practise linework with ink, draw still life objects, zoom in on textures like fur or scales and play with patterns and abstract ideas inspired by artists such as Joan Miró.
Our teachers will pair mediums, techniques and skills with space for each artist’s imagination, personal choices and their own drawing style to shine through. This class helps kids build confidence, develop foundational skills and enjoy the process of making art.

Our Ages 10+ class is perfect for young artists who want to deepen their skills, learn new techniques and grow their own artistic style. Whether they’re beginners or already drawing constantly at home, every student is supported at their own level.
We explore more detailed and expressive drawing skills — things like shading, texture, depth, accurate observation, perspective and working from references. Students also learn practical approaches such as using grids to improve proportions, sketching anatomy and faces, and layering colour with pencils to create smooth blends and rich detail.
Projects are varied and inspiring. In Term 1, artists will dive into close-up flower studies inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe, design symbolic self-portraits in the style of Frida Kahlo, explore reflections and light, and work on imaginative concept designs and illustrated stories.
This class is relaxed, fun and welcoming — a space where older kids can challenge themselves, try new materials and begin (or continue) shaping a drawing style they feel proud of.
