Children can join Realisticus Art Classes anytime during the first few weeks of the Term, if there is a space available. The fees will be adjusted accordingly.

Realisticus Art Classes are limited to only 12-13 students per class, so booking a place in advance for your children is essential.

Most of our Art Classes are suitable for Kids ages 5-13. In some classes we have limited the bookings to older age groups eg. ages 8-14. We also have classes for under 5s labeled as Under 5s or Junior Realisticus Art Classes.

Our programme has been specifically designed to suit a mixed group of Children. They learn well together and individually reach new levels as they progress through our curriculum.

Our Art Programmes are based on Realistic Drawing Skills, so these are Drawing Classes. But you will be very surprised that our Drawing Classes include activities with a wide range of materials, including: colour pencils, pastels, speciality pencils, watercolour, paint and more to surprise parents with amazing end result Art Works. We do 5-7 different activities per Term. So our young students are very excited to come to class and learn what we will be doing next!

Realisticus Tutors are full of energy, excitement, enthusiasm and commitment to helping kids discover the amazing drawing skills they all possess. One tutor is selected out of 50-100 applicants. All of our tutors receive full training before teaching their first class and ongoing Training to make sure they deliver each lesson to the standards of Realisticus Art Academy!

Most of the materials will be provided for you to use. For Term classes basic stationery list will be sent out to you on enrollment before the Term starts and it will last you for more than 2 years.

All students must be on time. In the first 10 minutes of class the Tutor goes through the Theory and the Technique, so for your children to achieve the best results in class it is extremely important to come at least 5 minutes earlier.

For the duration of the class parents can leave their child with the tutor, the waiting area outside the class is great for the parents to wait and/or collect children after class. If your child is 5 years old or a bit shy let them know you will be right outside the door or by the window. So they can ask you to come in later on if required. All kids feel more comfortable communicating and drawing in an Art Class with only the students and professional Tutor present (and no other Adults). The classroom atmosphere is fun and dynamic.

Term Classes take place once a week at after school times at school or community space. Term classes are 60 minutes. Parents are responsible for transportation to the Tutor and after the class has concluded. Please pick up your child promptly.
