Every child has a spark of creativity.

At Ashni Drawing Class, we help them express that spark through drawing, color, and imagination. For kids under 10, art is more than fun—it’s a path to confidence, focus, and emotional growth.

In this blog, we’ll take you through engaging drawing activities we use in our Chennai-based classes to turn curious kids into confident little artists. 

🎯 1. Building Drawing Skills Through Lines and Shapes

We start by teaching young children how to break down complex images into simple shapes. Learning to draw with lines, circles, squares, and triangles helps them understand structure while boosting hand control. 

Activity examples:

  • Turning shapes into animals,
  • Creating objects using line patterns,
  • Step-by-step drawing tutorials

Benefits: 

Builds sketching confidence, supports hand–eye coordination Makes learning simple and fun.

At Ashni Drawing Class, we guide each child to build from basic lines to beautiful drawings without pressure.

Focus and fine motor skills.

This activity not only relaxes the mind but also encourages open emotional expression.

Kids love to touch, fold, cut, and stick! That’s why we blend drawing with simple crafts to create hands-on projects that stimulate both the brain and the heart.
