Mixed-media art classes for children aged 5–12 at Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Academy on Al Reem Island, covering drawing, watercolour, acrylic, and collage techniques through fun, structured projects. Small groups capped at 8 students mean genuine individual attention, and finished work goes on display in the academy's annual end-of-year exhibition alongside pieces from the academy's teen art programme. Saturday and Sunday sessions run 75 minutes.
This session runs 75 minutes, for ages 5–12. Classes cover a range of media: drawing, painting, clay, mixed media, and increasingly digital art. Toddler classes (ages 2–5) focus on sensory exploration — the process matters more than the finished product. Older children work with structured techniques while developing their personal creative style. Many studios hold regular exhibitions of student work, which builds pride and motivation. Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Academy offers a free trial session before you commit.
Parent tip
Resist the urge to judge your child's art by how realistic it looks. In quality art education, experimentation and creative risk-taking are more valuable than technical precision at young ages. Ask them about their work rather than telling them what it looks like.
