1.Seedling Art (Age 2.5 to 4)
This
programme is tailored to fine-tune their finer motor skills through drawing and
painting. We explore and learn to draw different shapes, lines, colour mixing
and marks making during each lesson. Through the program students get to
observe and recognising shapes and forms through drawing. Allowing the child to
explore creation using paints and oil pastels and intuitively discover through
the lessons how each mark they have made will turn out. It enables the child to
discover the many possibilities one can do, while our step-by-step teaching
process will guide one to a final artwork.All
our classes including our preschool classes are drop off class, non-accompanied
by parents.Most
of our classes are mixed age groups classes, children are given personal

of their artwork. We also conduct monthly special projects which focuses on
extending a child’s knowledge of Art through Design, 3D craft, Art History and Art
Treats. Children will learn important building blocks in the understanding and
appreciation of Art.

3.Foundational Art (Age 7 to 12)
Our
Foundational Art (FA) Programme is one of the most highly subscribed programmes
at Artgrain. Through the practice of art making processes such as drawing,
painting and sculpturing, this programme introduces primary school-aged
children to the building blocks of art, including shape, tone, colour and
composition. Students progress through a series of themes, ranging from still
life to landscapes, animals and more. In the process, they develop their
observational skills and control of the medium while learning a wide variety of
art styles.
This
programme is conducted in modules, one individual module consists of 10
sessions. Each module is planned in a structured manner to build up knowledge
and skills in art making. An important part of the module is to build up each

6.Secondary Art (Age 13 to 16)
Our
Secondary Art programme aims to provide a comprehensive training that
complements, and goes beyond the art curriculum in school. Whether you are
looking to take art as an interest or as a GCE ‘O’ Level Art subject, our
Secondary Art Programme caters to all students aged 13 to 16 with different
learning objectives and background. It is essential that students acquire the
understanding of the art-making process. With passion and tenacity, skills and
the knowledge that they have acquired, they can eventually strive towards
having the independence, freedom and ability to create art in their own
interest and time.
As
learning progresses, there is greater emphasis on the development of ideas into
works of art. Art-making no longer limits to creating just a single product,
but more importantly, the means of overseeing the whole process of creation
takes centre-stage. Learning art as a subject or discipline takes a more
autonomous and investigative approach.
In
this programme, we will teach students firstly the foundational skills in
drawing and painting. The ability to articulate observation of shapes, forms,
tones and other visual information is a sign of development. Thematic art,
where creations are derived from the exploration and development of an idea or
theme, will inculcate in our students the skills of gathering images, visual
research and how to assimilate them in their work. They will also be learning
about the application of various dry and wet media. Students will be creating
works based on the various art expressions & styles. Different media &
processes will also be introduced in their lessons. Each module will
progressively cover different subject matter, movements, and themes in art

7.Portfolio Preparatory Art (Age 10 to 12)
Our Portfolio Preparatory Course (PPC) guides 10 – 12 years old students in preparing a body of works that they can take ownership of and call their own. The portfolio will showcase students’ acute observational skills, their proficiency in technical drawing and painting, the ability to find inspiration from their experiences, the things around them or societal issues and turn their inspirations into compositions.
Facilitated by our teachers, students will go through the processes of ideation and conceptualisation, experimentation and development, and finally, the realisation of their works in the weekly lessons. They will be exposed to and trained in different mediums such as clay, 3D art, photography and reference different artists’ styles.
The portfolio can be used as a supporting document during Direct School Admission (DSA) exercises to secondary schools. DSA Art in Singapore presents opportunities for Primary 6 students who showcase interest, engagement and proficiency in visual art to apply to secondary schools before PSLE. DSA Art secondary schools include, but is not only limited to, School of the Arts (SOTA), National Junior College (NJC), Raffles Girls’ School (RGS), St Joseph’s Institution (SJI) and Victoria School (VS). Besides the DSA art portfolio, on-the-spot tests comprise the other audition components during the Visual Art DSA exercises to various schools. For comprehensive training encompassing all audition components, workshops are conducted every school holiday.

9.Digital Drawing (Age 7 to 16)
At Artgrain, our Digital Art programme is a specialized course for students who are interested the digital realm. Digital Art for children no longer has a steep learning curve, as they are regularly exposed to technological devices like smartphones, tablets and laptops in their everyday life, and thus can pick up new interfaces quickly. It can be seen applied in areas like illustration, animation, graphic design and advertisements.Instead of using a pencil or paint brush, students learn about art and create works through soft- wares like Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, Procreate or Adobe Photoshop, with a laptop and pen tablet, or a tablet and stylus pen. In our Digital Art course in Singapore, students start with learning the basics in art, the elements and principles, while familiarizing themselves with the software and basic digital tools. They progress to learning about digital painting, honing their observational skills of colours, tones and details to achieve realism. After building a strong foundation in art and a good mastery of the common digital tools and techniques, they are taught more art techniques such as collaging and design, advanced digital painting techniques and a variety of art styles.
