The London Art College provide two courses designed especially for the young artist, whether being home schooled, wanting a little extra help outside school, or just for the child’s sheer enjoyment. Our courses are suitable for ages 7 to 14 are hands-on courses that introduce the young student to an understanding of how to draw and use colour in an interesting and captivating way. Both courses are fully illustrated with easy to understand colour step-by-step guides and exercises.

Each young student will have hands on experience throughout the courses, with choices of study units at the end of each section to complete and send to Melanie Phillips, the Course Artist, for her comments and advice. Both courses are designed to give the young student an excellent grounding, guiding and teaching them to understand drawing techniques and colour.

Melanie will create an audio cd with her comments for the student commenting on the work submitted and giving encouragement and advice as needed. The course is very visual with lots of illustrations and simple exercises. In Melanie's response to individual students she will seek to get them involved and challenged by the course. Melanie is very approachable and enjoys working with children to help them get real benefit from this well proven course.

The courses are very colourful and visual with many step-by-step exercises supported by full explanations. This method has proved very successful as children can see immediately how they can improve; and Melanie will be available to help if they experience any problems.
