What your child learns in each batch.
Richa wrote the curriculum and trained every teacher on it. Each batch works through these techniques and mediums over the months, so your child tries every medium before choosing a favourite.
What the Pre-Junior batch learns
The first year is about holding a brush well, filling a whole page and finishing a picture the child is proud of.
- Lines, shapes, form, texture and space: the basics every drawing is built on
- Small art activities that build hand and finger control
- Colour: shading and blending
- Step-by-step drawings a young child can follow and finish
- How to hold and use paints, brushes, colour pencils, crayons and sketch pens
- Watercolour and colouring techniques

A new subject most weeks
The teacher picks the week's subject from the batch's list, so the order changes from batch to batch. Every class is recorded, so a missed class is never a missed technique.
Richa and the teachers she trained
Richa wrote the curriculum and trained every teacher on it. Some teachers have been with the class about five years, and parents often ask for them by name.
