FOR WHOM THIS COURSE
This course is perfect for children aged 5 to 8. Younger children can also start, provided they have adult assistance. Older family members—including teenagers and even adults—are welcome to join in alongside the children; the course is for anyone interested in trying their hand at illustrating fairy tales.
Since it is designed as a family-friendly course, other family members can participate for free (without receiving personal feedback). Essentially, it is open to artists of any age in your family.
This course is for anyone who wants to create for the sheer joy of it!
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS
This course promises plenty of fun, as we will be drawing subjects that children love, featuring vibrant and memorable themes. Kids will master a variety of unique techniques, discovering that art isn’t limited to just pencils and paints—they can also create using adhesive tape, colored paper, stickers, and glitter.
This experience will empower young artists to incorporate these techniques and materials into their own future projects.
Meanwhile, parents can enjoy some free time, confident that their child is spending the hour productively and happily.
Over the course of the program, the children will create nine original A3-sized artworks—beautiful, eye-catching pieces that make perfect gifts for family and friends for the holidays.
MATERIALS FOR THIS COURSE
– 7 sheets of thick white A3 paper
– 3 sheets of thick black A3 paper (alternatively, white sheets can be painted black beforehand)
– 1 sheet of white A4 paper
– Colored A4 paper
– Black permanent marker with a broad, flat tip (chisel tip), approx. 5 mm wide
– Watercolors
– Soft round brushes in various sizes, including a very fine one
– Oil pastels
– Washi tape set (decorative paper tape). Solid colors or patterns are both fine; sets usually feature colors and styles that coordinate well. Specific patterns don’t matter—let the child choose what they like.
– Scissors and a glue stick
– Jar of water
– HB lead pencil
– Eraser
– A hair dryer (useful for quickly drying artwork during painting sessions)
Optional but highly recommended:
– Decorative A4 paper (small patterns or glittery finish).
Ideally, the paper should be of medium thickness—neither too thin nor too thick—and smooth, without a heavily textured surface.
This is optional—plain colored paper works too—but decorative A4 paper adds extra interest.
– Stickers (hearts, snowflakes, stars).
They are fun to apply, and any leftovers can be used for future independent art projects.
– Large glitter (1–3 mm). Not the fine kind that sticks to everything, but slightly larger pieces, like decorative sprinkles. Ideally in small, narrow jars or wide, shallow containers to prevent accidental large spills. – large 3D craft googly eyes (2–3 cm), 2 pieces
Dear parents! The quality of materials is crucial for helping your child fall in love with art and minimizing frustration during the creative process.
