FAQs
Children's Art Classes
What do my kids learn?
In the beginning, I’m teaching them the basic techniques of drawing with a pencil so that they can start drawing what they see in front of them confidently. When they are good at it we are going to learn a bit more advanced level of painting with watercolours, acrylic, and gouache.
How long is the class?
It is 1,5 hours per class.
For what age group?
Ideally it’s for children from 6-14 years old however it can be for a bit younger or older kids depending on if they can study independently for 1,5 hours without parents.
What languages are given in the class?
I give the class in 3 languages: English, Dutch, and Vietnamese.
How many kids do you have per class?
I have a maximum of 12 kids per class because I want to give them as much attention as they need.
What if my financial situation doesn’t allow me to pay for the kid's art classes?
Let me know, we can talk about it and Jeugdfonds Sports and Culture Almere may be able to help out.
Why is your trial class not free of charge?
I give the same amount of time, attention, and art supplies to every kid. There is no difference between the trial class and the actual class.

Please let me know at least 1 hour before the class starts so I won’t expect the kid to come. The class fee for that day will then be deducted from the next month’s payment fee.

The course is for beginners but advanced artists are also welcome to join and refresh their knowledge.
If I bring a friend, do we get a discount?
The class fee is already discounted (more than 25% compared to other workshops) because you pay for the course at once (2 months). Therefore, there will be no additional discounts applied.
