Art trial classes designed for kids aged 9 to 15, offering a structured introduction to drawing, color, anime, and project-based design through weekly 90-minute sessions. A low-commitment way to explore different art disciplines.
Aimed at students aged 9 to 15, these art trial classes run weekly (except Mondays and Tuesdays), with each session lasting 90 minutes. The experience class is priced at 69 RMB and is designed to give participants a clear sense of different teaching approaches and creative directions before committing to longer-term courses.
The sketching course focuses on foundational skills such as line work, light and shadow, spatial awareness, and observation, helping students build a solid visual base. The color course introduces systematic color theory and practical color-matching techniques, with students producing both a personal color research portfolio and themed artworks.
For those interested in illustration and storytelling, the anime and manga course covers character design, scene composition, storyboarding, and professional comic techniques, with an emphasis on developing individual style. There is also a project-based learning (PBL) design course, combining independent and group projects across architectural design, fashion design, contemporary art, graphic creation, and installation and sculpture, offering a broader view of how art functions across disciplines.
