  • This course was so much fun, my daughter loved it. They made so many things and had a finale fashion show wearing all of their gear. Highly recommended.
  • hi my names emily and my child went to class with francesco and patricia. she loved it! travelling around the city after a morning of instruction is a wonderful format. she will take the class again!
  • Amazing!! The kids loved it!! We will be back!
  • I remember my son Luke had a great time. He was interested and engaged throughout, and came out with a big smile on his face. Hope this is useful!
  • My son really enjoyed his session. The instructor was very encouraging and thoroughly explained the objectives given. We def will book again.
  • This class was entertaining and the kids loved it!
  • Abstraction for Kids — Materials Included

    Loved it but it was just 1 class but I loved the teacher!!!! She was awesome!!!!
  • Abstraction for Kids — Materials Included

    The instructor was wonderful with my son. He had a great experience and it was fun to watch him interact and create art.
  • I really liked the class!!! The teacher showed us a lot of important things. The teacher was super nice and so were the the other kids! Thank you for doing these things in these tough times with coronavirus.
  • My daughter loved this class and is able to apply techniques learn moving forwards. She wants to join again if class becomes available again.
  • My daughters loved it so much! They were super engaged the entire week. Thank you!
  • My kids enjoyed this class with Kiya! She is very patient and walked them through a guided activity but encouraged them to paint whatever they felt like if they wanted to do something different. She taught them some fun techniques (splatter was the favorite) and provided very encouraging feedback at the end of the class for all of the students. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to internet issues, but they both would love to take another class with her in the future!
  • My daughter really enjoyed the class and would love to take more with Kiya.
  • My 12 year old son loved it. He said it was lots of fun!
  • The instructor, Lara Kazan, has a background in fashion design and does an amazing job of teaching the kids how to use an actual sewing machine (there is some hand sewing, but my daughter made 5 or so pieces in a week on the sewing machine) as well as how to make a variety of different things out of different materials. I love that a lot of upcycling and custom pattern making was taking place and each piece was unique and well-considered and not a cookie-cutter project. My daughter still uses a fanny pack she made here daily. At pick up time all of the kids seemed to be having too much fun to want to leave and I felt like I had stepped into a real fashion studio with people buzzing around, draping fabric on each other and working the machines. The kids really seemed to be into it! We look forward to spending more time here this summer.
  • This was such an amazing workshop. I couldn't believe the costumes my kids created. They were really unique and beautiful.
  • Kid's Friendship Bracelet

    It was so great! Thank you!!!!!
  • The teacher was really helpful, he showed me apps I could use to do stop motion animation and he helped me develop ideas into a video. I totally recommend this course for beginners.
  • I am Katie and I loved making my own clothes. The sewing machines are also easy to use. I would recommend this to my friends. Thank you!
  • My daughter has some experience with sewing from various classes but the projects were always too simple or not practical. Lara's Make it class was the perfect balance between learning how to actually sew and making something that my daughter could actually wear and be proud of (jean purse...amazing). Lara's relaxed style, yet patient teaching directive, made the three hours fly by. She allows the kids to create and enjoy the process but is also realistic and knows they want to walk away with a finished product. Not only does my daughter wear the purse she made but has offered to sew torn pillow cases, and other things to keep up her sewing skills. It was a delight taking this class with Lara and I would highly recommend her!
  • I've had my girls attend two of Make It Studio's workshops and they had a blast! They made these adorable Sock bunnies during the Easter PEEP making workshop, and fantastic earrings out of pom poms, sequins, and beads at the last one we went to. It was great to see them being creative and making substantial things. Lara, the owner/instructor is so great with the kids and her background as a designer in the fashion industry definitely shows through.
  • Loved our teacher and really happy with the work we brought home.
  • At the beginning my daughter was a little hesitant, but by the end of class she made great friends and love the class, now she wants to go to the next classes.
  • Kids: Stop Motion Animation Camp

    My 8 year old loved the class and plans to attend another animation camp
  • Manga Drawing and Animation for Kids

    Great instructor. Great class. My son and his friend loved it

    My daughter loves this class Because the instructor doesn’t try to change her drawing style. He gives her tips on how to draw better and also points out other artists that draw alike. She loves it

  • Spring Art Camp (Ages 4 -11)

    Really great local art studio for the whole family- my daughter LOVES her art class and camps here, and my husband and I have enjoyed a fun date night at a couple's painting class. They've even helped me touch up a painting from my living room! Everyone who works here is so friendly and enthusiastic, and we are so grateful to have found this awesome place!
  • Spring Art Camp (Ages 4 -11)

    The Art Studio provides a friendly, non-competitive atmosphere that encourages creativity. An artist's home away from home
  • Spring Art Camp (Ages 4 -11)

    Our 6.5 year old son participates in art classes at The Art Studio every Monday. He pretty much talks about the class the entire week, anticipating what the next project will be! The instructors are amazingly talented; not just with their artistic abilities, but also with the students. It is one of the ONLY classes we are re-registering for in the winter session, which says a lot considering how many options we have as New Yorkers. Thanks for providing our budding artist with a safe, fun and very kid-friendly experience!
  • Kids AT Art is super excellent!! My son loves it. It is a great experience for all ages!
  • It is a special place, where they treat children like artists, they teach art, not arts and crafts.
  • From the 2yr old classes on up Wendy (the patient teacher) has the young students create such stunningly creative projects. The children are taught to use various types of art techniques in each class. This is truly the best choice for a children's art class in NYC!
  • My child attended the Culture Bugs Mini Camp this past summer. It was such an inspiring experience for her. The Director and her staff are just wonderful. The art program is diverse and creative. I'd recommend for any child who is serious about art.
  • Fall Camp: Kids Art Camp - (Half Day)

    This is the most special place for children to do incredible art and their creativity. My children have been going to art classes here for the last 3 years and absolutely love it. Creatively Wild Art has incredible teachers who nurture the kids skills as an artist as being a good person. I could not think of a more special place for my kids to go for incredible art and to be loved and nurtured.
  • Fall Camp: Kids Art Camp - (Half Day)

    I absolutely adore Creatively Wild because I feel like my kids get an authentic art studio experience with outdoor time at the foot of the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge Park! DM, Murphy and the outstanding team at CW are so respectful of the little Picassos who come through the door - I have been blown away by the volume and quality of REAL art projects that the kids have come home with! This is THE place to go for intercession camps, summer camps - they are super flexible as well! DM also has a real talent for hiring teaching artists who get young kids and have a real respect and reverence for budding artists! Bravo - take a BOW Creatively Wild!
  • Fall Camp: Kids Art Camp - (Half Day)

    I've now sent my 7 year old son to several half- and full-day camp sessions and my 2.5 year old daughter to weekly classes, and I cannot say enough about DM and her wonderful program and staff. My children have tons of fun and feel perfectly at home in the Creatively Wild studio, and the artwork they bring home is truly impressive. The teachers provide a little bit of guidance but it is clear from the pride on the kids' faces that they have put time, hard work and heart into their creations. Highly recommend.
  • Teen Fall Art Camp (Full Day)

    Let's Get Creatively Wild Summer Camp is an amazing, unrivaled experience for children who already love and practice art and those who want to learn techniques and work in multiple mediums. As a mother and a former art student (I was fortunate to have intensive art education from early childhood until college, where I minored in studio art and art history) I can attest to the expert instruction and true aesthetic appreciation provided by founder DM Wilding, Jane Brody and the other incredible professional artist-teachers. They possess the unique skill of recognizing each child's individual talent and potential while providing a fun group adventure that builds social as well as artistic skills. This is not like typical classes offered for children. They offer drop-off sessions for camp as well as a variety of classes throughout the year. You owe it to your child to develop her or his artistic personality. You will be impressed by the works your child brings home. We're talking gallery quality.
  • Teen Fall Art Camp (Full Day)

    My 10 year old daughter has been taking art classes with DM for 3 years. She is the coolest and most fun loving art teacher ever. She is able to bring out the creative spirit in anyone. What makes DM unique is how she can teach the kids techniques and artistry infused with fun, self-expression.
  • Summer Camp

    My 10 year old daughter and I took a group oil painting class with Sheri. We had never painted before. WOW! The proof is in the paintings. Not only is Sheri an amazing instructor but a role model for your child. We can't wait to start the next session. HIGHLY RECOMMEND it for any age.
  • Summer Camp

    I'm taking my 2.5 year old daughter to Mommy and Me classes in 7 Fine Arts and I couldn't be happier with Sheri's gentle, fun and creative approach to teach my daughter to paint and make her express herself through colors. Her classes are very relaxing and enlightening at the same time. It's a joy everytime. Highly recommended!
  • My daughter loved the beginner courses. She continues to express interest I sewing and would like to continue taking courses at the same location!
  • Manga Drawing and Animation for Kids

    Aviva loved that she ended up with a private class due to teh snow!!

Discover the Best Kids' Art Classes in NYC

Kids have been engaging in art creation for centuries. ​​In the 18th century, the effect that art engagement has on child development began to be studied by artists, philosophers, and pedagogues. They realized that art could aid in the physical and mental development of children and found it beneficial to study these effects further. In the late 1800s, these studies surrounding art and child development encouraged access to art education for children. 

Up until these connections were made, kids’ art was appreciated for its aesthetic quality. Artists enjoyed studying art that was not tainted by adult influence and thus an adult’s perception of the world. Kids’ art exemplifies their inability to visually express subjects through art the same way that adults do. Because of this, kids’ art started to be compared to modernism, a cultural movement that, when applied to art, rejects realism. With this aesthetic appreciation of kids’ art came the display of kids’ art as part of art collections.

It’s been noted by scholars that stages of child development can be associated with stages of kids’ art. Around a child’s first birthday, they’ll typically learn how to scribble. This will require a small degree of motor skills, which children around that age are beginning to develop. By age nine or ten, as a child’s observational skills improve and they develop a better understanding of how the world works, their art will become progressively more realistic in style. 

The physical and mental benefits that art provides to children have been studied by teachers and psychologists alike. Repeated use of the muscles in their hands and wrists contributes to their physical development, whereas the creative aspect required when making art helps children express themselves creatively and learn to connect with their emotions. Art has been recognized as not just a fun activity for kids, but an integral part of their development. 

Why Your Child Should Learn Art in NYC

Studies have found numerous benefits to introducing your child to art at an early age. Art requires children to work with one or both of their hands, which can help improve their coordination and fine motor skills. When they hold onto art tools like scissors, crayons, and markers, they are working on their dexterity and control of their fingers. When your child gains experience working on art projects and becomes more accustomed to working with art tools, their physical development improves.

Art can also aid in developing your child’s cognitive skills. You can use art to teach them about shapes, colors, and sizes. They’ll also learn to plan as they decide what they want to create, and they’ll learn problem-solving techniques as they fix their mistakes. Using permanent or semi-permanent materials like paint, markers, and glue can help them problem-solve as well. Art is also a lesson in cause and effect, as your child learns what happens when they mix materials like paint, or different colors when drawing.

Parents are encouraged to use art as a form of open-ended play with their children. Open-ended play is when children use their imaginations to play without any specific goals in mind or rules dictating their play. This play style has been shown to help children understand their emotions as they learn how to appropriately react to different situations. It also promotes social development when done with other children. Art is also a great way to help your child express themselves and explore the boundaries of their creativity.

In-Person Kids' Art Classes & Schools in NYC

In-person kids’ art classes are offered throughout New York City for children of all ages. The expert instructors leading these classes are available to offer demonstrations to your child, provide them with constructive feedback and advice, and can answer your child’s questions. 

If you’re in Brooklyn, Creatively Wild Art Studio Dumbo offers kids’ art classes to children of all ages. Toddler: Art Adventure is a class aimed at kids aged one to three. In this class, your toddler will begin exploring their creativity and ways to express themselves through art. Their instructor will guide them through color mixing, brushwork, and fun paint applications. This is a drop-off class, but one adult per toddler is allowed to attend if absolutely necessary. 

If your child is older, between the ages of four to eight, Creatively Wild Art Studio also offers a great beginner class, First Brushstrokes for Kids. Here your child will learn the fundamentals of painting with a brush. They’ll be taught the basics, like how to properly hold a brush and how to apply paint. Demonstrations will focus on color mixing, paint applications, techniques, and painting styles. At the end of the full course, your child will bring home their own finished canvas.

Creatively Wild Art Studio Dumbo also offers drawing and illustration classes for older children. Children, aged nine through twelve, that would like an introduction to drawing techniques can sign-up for their Teens: Beginner Drawing + Illustration class. In this class, they’ll learn a variety of techniques and skills, like achieving appropriate proportions and linear perspective. Learning how to draw takes a lot of practice, so it’s recommended that your child takes the full course to get the best experience out of the class. 

The Paint Place, located in the Upper West Side, hosts a Kids Camp for children aged six and older. During this three-hour class, your child will work on various paint projects, with a focus on acrylic paint. This medium is great for beginners, as it’s inexpensive and easy to use. 

If you’re interested in painting alongside your child, The Paint Place offers Grown Up and Me Painting, a child-parent painting class. Children aged four and older can work on a project together with a parent under the supervision of an instructor. 

Virtual Kids' Art Classes & Schools

In-person kids’ art classes provide hands-on art experience to your child and allow them to receive real-time feedback and advice from an expert instructor. In a classroom setting, your child will be able to witness demonstrations and meet and make friends with other kids their age. 

In-person classes, however, aren’t always accessible. They might not be offered in your area, or they might not fit into your schedule. Luckily, virtual kids’ art classes are offered for children of all ages. Your child can attend these classes from the comfort of your own home. There are a variety of virtual kids’ art classes to choose from, all of which are taught by a live instructor. 

Virtual classes will require you to source the necessary materials ahead of the class date. Materials will be course-specific but can range from canvas, to paint, to markers. A supply list will be provided by your child’s instructor ahead of the class date. Most of these materials can be found at your local art shop or craft store or delivered to you by an online retailer. 

There are a few online kids’ art classes available for your child to take on CourseHorse.

Children aged five through eight can sign-up for The Art Studio NY’s online Summer Art and Creativity Camp. This camp is taught by a live instructor who will encourage your child to express themselves through their art projects. These projects will focus on a variety of art styles and use mediums that may be new to your child. The goal of the camp is for them to engage with art in a fun way while socializing with their peers. You can sign your child up for half-day morning or afternoon classes (two hours), or full-day classes (four hours). 

A variety of classes are offered for older children that may appeal to their specific interests. Kids aged 10 through 16 interested in manga and learning how to draw in that style, can enroll in the Art School of SF Bay’s Manga Art Camp. This five-day camp will let your child work on freeform drawing projects. They can create a comic or illustration of their favorite comic or manga characters or draw their own original characters. Their camp instructor will be available to provide advice and guidance on drawing anatomy and proportions correctly, as well as tips on how to pose characters and make color choices.

10 to 16-year-olds can also take a virtual class on digital painting. Whether your child is familiar with digital art or new to it, as long as they have an interest in working with technology to create art, they are welcome to enroll in the Art of SF Bay’s Digital Painting Art Camp. In this camp, they’ll work with digital tools and editing apps to create digital drawings. Their instructor will also teach them the fundamentals of digital drawing. Make sure to check out the class supply list as several devices and software are required.

If your child’s interests lie in traditional art, consider signing them up for Creatively Wild Art Studio Dumbo’s traditional drawing and illustration class. This class is open to kids ages nine through twelve who are new to drawing and illustrating. In this beginner class, their instructor will teach them classical drawing techniques. At the end of the class, they’ll be equipped with the fundamental skills of drawing and illustrating.

If you’re not sure what your final group size will be, you can book a class with the minimum group size and update your final headcount up to one week before the class is scheduled. All necessary materials will be sent out to the class participants ahead of the session, so you don’t need to stress about buying supplies. 

There are no booking fees when signing up for a class with CourseHorse. CourseHorse will also allow you to cancel your child’s class for free up to two weeks before the session. They can accommodate a variety of online video platforms for course delivery such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meets, or WebEx.
