About
And Art Children's Art Classes offer a fine-art education program for children aged 4 through 12, with a curriculum that progresses in depth and complexity as children develop their skills over time. Unlike simpler craft-based classes, And Art focuses on building a genuine understanding of artistic technique — how to look at composition, how to mix and use color effectively, how to approach drawing from observation rather than symbol. Instructors are practicing artists who bring their own passion for the discipline to the teaching environment, and that enthusiasm is visible in the quality of work children produce.
Sessions are kept to small group sizes to ensure every child receives meaningful feedback and guidance, rather than being managed in a large group where the instructor can't attend to individual needs. For children who are already showing an interest in drawing or painting, And Art offers the kind of structured progression that helps that interest deepen into a real skill. Holiday workshops are available and are an excellent option for families visiting London or looking for a half-day creative activity during school breaks.
These intensive sessions are themed — landscape painting, portraiture, abstract art — and give children a focused deep-dive into a particular aspect of art-making. And Art operates across multiple London locations; check which is most convenient for your visit. The studio environment is intentionally professional rather than playful, signaling to children that their creative work is worthy of serious space and attention.

Why Kids Love It
And Art takes a fine-art approach to children's classes, meaning kids are exposed to proper techniques and materials rather than basic craft activities. The result is artwork children are genuinely proud of, and a growing sense of what it actually means to be creative. The studio environment itself signals to children that their art is taken seriously.
