In this fun and engaging course, students in grade 1 and 2 will explore the world of structures and buildings through drawing, sketching, and coloring. Using age-appropriate techniques, students will learn how to observe and recreate forms such as houses, bridges, towers, and castles — all while developing essential fine motor and visual-spatial skills. The focus is on structured creativity, where imagination meets design and foundational art principles are introduced in a fun, supportive environment.
