Watercolour for Children (9–12 yrs)

About this activity

An intermediate watercolour class for children who've moved past basic exploration, covering wet-on-wet technique, glazing, and composition through both observational and imaginative painting projects. Students build a genuine portfolio of work across the term rather than producing standalone unrelated pieces, giving a visible sense of progression by the end. Ages 9 to 12; sessions run Monday and Wednesday afternoons at the Jumeirah centre, with a free trial available.

What to expect from arts & performance classes

Art classes in the UAE typically run 60–90 minutes and 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. All materials are usually included in the class fee. Many studios hold regular exhibitions of student work, which builds pride and motivation.
