Drawsters Creative Drawing Classes for Kids

Have you ever walked into a school in November and seen a lineup of turkeys that all look the same?

Well, we all have. The children are instructed to make a turkey that looks exactly like the teacher’s turkey. In this turkey-making exercise, the children learn about both copying and technique. Students are rewarded with “nice artwork” when they are able to closely approximate the teacher’s turkey.

This happens in drawing classes, as well. And while this type of drawing has value, it really has very little to do with creative drawing. In Abrakadoodle’s Drawsters Creative Drawing Classes for Kids, we take drawing instruction for children to higher levels in pursuit of originality. Our unique Drawsters Creative Drawing Classes help students to learn valuable drawing techniques that they can apply to their own creations. Each and every student is encouraged to be imaginative and apply the techniques that they have learned in Drawsters Creative Drawing Classes for Kids to create original artwork. Matching turkeys or skyscrapers or portraits are not encouraged!

The benefits of Drawsters Classes are many. Children practice and develop new skills. They learn about specific techniques. They explore artist styles, cultures, unique art forms and vocabulary. These learnings have long-reaching effects. They can be applied to artwork that day or to a school project next month. But most importantly, our Drawsters’ students create artwork that is “one of a kind” and truly an expression of each child’s imagination and creativity. It’s no wonder that Abrakadoodle has received nine Parent Picks Awards from Nickelodeon including seven First Place Awards for “Best Art Class to Bring Out Your Child’s Inner Picasso.” For us at Abrakadoodle, it’s all about bringing out the creativity in each and every child!
