Drawing Light & Shade for Kids

8-Week Online Drawing Course | Sundays 3:00pm – 4:00pm | Ages 7-12

This course is part of our Online Art Classes for Kids program.


✨ Help Your Child Bring Their Drawings to Life

In this 8-week online drawing course, children will learn how to transform their drawings using light, shadow, and shading techniques.

Starting with simple shapes, students are guided step-by-step to understand how light affects objects — and how to use shading to create depth, contrast, and more realistic, 3D drawings.

This is a calm, engaging class designed to build both skills and confidence over time.


🎨 What Your Child Will Learn

  • How to use light and shadow to create depth
  • Shading techniques to make drawings look more realistic
  • How to observe shapes and form more carefully
  • How to build drawings step-by-step with confidence

Each lesson builds on the last, helping students see real progress across the term.


🌱 A Course Designed for Confidence & Progress

This is not a one-off class — it’s a progressive 8-week program where children develop their skills week by week.

Through guided instruction and hands-on practice, students will:

  • Feel proud of what they create

Perfect for children who enjoy drawing and are ready to take their skills further.
