Budding young artists will benefit from extra-curricular courses in painting and drawing. Here is a list of children’s art classes in Edmonton that we recommend for artists 12 years old and under. We are fortunate to have many high-caliber art instructors in the Edmonton area who are willing to share their time and talent teaching kids art. Try a few to find the instructor to suit your child’s learning style. Many of the instructors on this list have students start under the age of six and stick with them until they graduate high school.
Youth over the age of 12 are invited to take adult courses at The Paint Spot. So if you are not looking for another creativity activity class and would rather your child learn fine art techniques and improve their drawing and painting skills with supervision and hands-on instruction, consider a few courses at The Paint Spot. Parents, grandparents, and friends are also invited to take a class with the youth.
Learning art is time well invested.
