Sketching Classes in Singapore

Year-Round Classes & Holiday Art Camps

Strokearts sketching courses run throughout the year, with weekly classes during school terms and special programs in our Holiday Art Camps. During school holidays, we offer immersive sketching workshops as part of our creative art camps for kids and teens. These holiday classes in Singapore keep young artists engaged: they practice sketching techniques along with other fun art projects, giving them a productive and enjoyable way to spend their vacations. Because our sketching module is included in the holiday camp package, students can explore drawing every season without interruption. To accommodate busy families, we offer flexible scheduling on weekdays and weekends; simply contact us for the latest timetable and holiday camp details.

Sketching Courses for Kids and Teens

Strokearts provides specialized kids and teen sketching courses that blend skill-building with creativity. For younger children (around age 5–12), our Kids’ Sketching Course starts with basic drawing skills – learning to hold the pencil, draw shapes, and color with confidence. Lessons use fun themes (animals, nature, portraits, cartoons, etc.) to keep young artists engaged. Through each project, children improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, and they gain the pride of seeing their own creative ideas on paper.

Teen sketching workshops (for ages 13–17) focus on more advanced techniques. Teens learn to draw realistically, mastering perspective, proportion, light and shadow. They explore different sketching tools – graphite pencils, charcoal, pastels, ink – and work on observational drawing (still life, landscapes, people) as well as imaginative subjects. Our instructors challenge older students to develop their personal style and even help build portfolios for those interested in art school or competitions. Small class sizes mean each teen receives personalized feedback, helping them advance faster and gain confidence in their abilities.

Adult Sketching Lessons

Strokearts’ sketching lessons are not just for kids – adults can join too! Our adult classes welcome beginners and hobbyists who want to learn to sketch or refine their skills. In a relaxed, sociable setting, adult students review fundamentals like form, composition, and shading, then progress to more challenging projects such as figure sketching or landscape drawing. Whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or returning to art after years, our award-winning instructors tailor each lesson to your pace. Adults often find sketching classes a great creative outlet and stress reliever. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can improve: stroke by stroke, you’ll learn to capture the world on paper and express your artistic side.

StrokeArts Advantage: Small Classes & Expert Instructors

Strokearts’ unique strengths set our sketching classes apart. We keep class sizes small so that each student gets individualized attention. In fact, research shows that smaller classes allow teachers to tailor instruction to every learner’s needs. With a low student-to-teacher ratio, our skilled instructors can spot and nurture each student’s talent – correcting techniques and encouraging creativity in real time.

All our sketching instructors are award-winning art educators with years of teaching experience (many have taught at top art schools). They bring passion and patience to every class. As one review noted, Strokearts has “regular art classes…based on a carefully created curriculum which is the result of years of experience as arts educators”. You and your child will benefit from their expertise in making complex art principles easy to understand.

We also provide opportunities for student exhibitions and showcases. Strokearts celebrates our students’ achievements by displaying their artwork at studio exhibitions and events. Annual art shows give every young artist a chance to present their best sketches to family and friends. These exhibitions boost confidence and give students a goal to work toward. Knowing their art will be featured encourages students to continually improve and take pride in their work.

What You’ll Learn in Sketching Class

Our sketching courses cover a comprehensive range of topics, ensuring steady artistic growth:

• Fundamental Techniques: Learn how to draw lines, shapes, and perspectives. We start with basics so students build a strong foundation in composition and proportion.
• Shading & Texture: Master the use of pencils, charcoal, and color pencils to create depth. Students practice light-and-shadow techniques to make sketches look three-dimensional.
• Observation Skills: Train the eye to observe details by drawing real-life subjects. From still life and nature to portraits, students learn to capture what they see and add personal style.
• Creative Expression: Projects encourage imagination – for example, students might sketch a favorite animal, design a unique landscape, or illustrate a story. This freedom makes art fun and builds creative confidence.
• Diverse Mediums: While pencils are our focus, we also introduce other dry media (charcoal, pastels, inks) to expand skills. Variety helps students find the tools they like best.
• Portfolio & Exhibitions: Advanced students may compile sketches into a portfolio, guided by our instructors. Throughout the year, we hold exhibitions where students showcase selected works. This real-world experience is thrilling for young artists!

Each class is structured yet playful. Strokearts’ expert instructors provide clear demonstrations and step-by-step guidance, ensuring students progress at a comfortable pace. We emphasize encouragement and positive feedback, so learners feel supported whether they are “learning to sketch” or already drawing with skill.
