A children's art programme in Madrid where they can learn and enjoy the process
In the studio, children learn drawing and painting in a progressive, close and stimulating way, within a real artistic atmosphere.
Classes for children of all levels
Some children come because they love drawing, others because they want to paint, and others because their families see a clear artistic inclination in them.
What the children's drawing and painting programme is like
The approach starts from a clear idea: children should truly learn drawing and painting from within, in a real artistic atmosphere, through exercises that develop observation, sensitivity and expressive ability.
A real artistic environment adapted to younger students
Children learn techniques and processes that bring them closer to professional painting, with shorter sessions and an approach suited to their age.
Learning in a playful and progressive way
In the children's sessions, play takes priority over strict discipline, but learning is not treated superficially; it is a solid and enjoyable progression.
Black and white
A first foundation focused on form, observation and understanding space before relying on colour.
Colour
The moment to broaden resources, enrich their way of looking and gain confidence in drawing and painting with greater colour sensitivity.
Creative composition
A stage in which the child begins to decide, interpret and visually organise what they want to express.
Personal projects
The level where everything learned begins to become a more personal, freer and more authentic form of expression.
Drawing and painting techniques from an early age
The workshop aims to introduce techniques such as charcoal drawing and oil painting, as well as representing three-dimensional objects within the two dimensions of a picture.
Observation, sensitivity and creativity
The exercises are not about colouring inside the lines, but about training observation of reality and sensitivity.
Artistic expression and personal development
Working with drawing and painting from an early age helps children develop a broader perception of reality and become more resourceful.
Children's painting workshop in Madrid with high-quality instruction
At El Taller del Aire, we do not use templates or copy photographs. The classes are designed for children who truly want to learn to paint and draw, progressing gradually but solidly.
Technical foundation, visual culture and artistic awareness
It is not just about making beautiful work, but about beginning to shape a way of looking, a cultural foundation and a deeper relationship with art.
Creativity, patience and confidence through art
The methodology strengthens qualities such as patience, consistency and trust in one's own process, understanding mistakes as part of learning.
Reviews from families and students about our art classes for children
The reviews reflect what families experience very well: a good atmosphere, happy children, creativity, real learning and a welcoming art school.
My two children, aged 7 and 11, have been going for years and are delighted. There is a very good atmosphere among children and adults, and they learn a lot.
Our daughter has been coming to this wonderful art school for years, where she enjoys painting and drawing. It is a luxury to have a place like this in the neighbourhood.
A very welcoming environment where many painting techniques are learned, surrounded by great classmates.
