These sessions are made to be fun and very informative!(Every Child is an Artist !- Pablo Picasso)

Art by Akilah is currently conducting art classes on Saturdays at the Centre of Excellence for children between the ages of 4 to 13 years old. A lot of people underestimate the benefits Visual Arts can have on their child from a very young age and for this reason, Art by Akilah is targeting younger kids. All materials are provided! These materials include aprons paints, brushes, colour pencils, crayons, pastels and any other necessary art supplies needed for the classes. 

These art classes focuses on the works of famous artists, various techniques etc. which is incorporated in the lessons so children can use it to create their own master pieces. Furthermore, kids also learn and integrate aspects of Trinidad and Tobago culture, historical sites, places of interest, seascapes and landscapes to name a few within their art work and at the same time be able to think and express themselves freely while creating . Engaging in art from a very young age contributes significantly to a child’s development since it promotes creativity, encourages neutral connections, builds motor skills, develops problem solving abilities, just the act of scribbling is a precursor to writing, it also helps them to understand themselves and their world and encourages connections with each other when doing it collectively as a group.
