Family drawing class
In the family drawing class, children learn to make drawings together with parents. Knowledge or experience is not needed. As a team, you will make decorative works, and strengthen an intuitive and playful connection. You will learn to make shapes, how to use colors, composition, creativity, and abstract thinking, but also patience and concentration.
The aim is not to make you draw realistic, like portraits, landscapes or still lives, but to go with the flow, use intuition and imagination. Simply by reacting to each other. The outcome can never be wrong. The works will be made with color markers on paper. In the end, you can take home a beautiful decorative collective work.
