Art Classes for Children in Dublin

Contact Our School

Brushstrokes Art School, Dublin:
Brushstrokes Art School provide quality art classes in Ongar, Dublin 15 (near Blanchardstown) for children between the ages of 6 and 12. Our kids classes take place on Saturdays at 11am and 12.15pm and run on a continuous basis throughout the year. You can join at any time once we have a vacancy in the class of your choice.

Art Classes for Children ages 6-12:

Our art classes for children are designed to ensure a balance between the innate abilities that all children possess, while also creating a relaxed and fun learning environment that allows for natural and structured progression at their own pace. They work with water-based paints, pastels, pencils and paper. Some children also work with oil paints. We work with them and introduce them to different drawing and colouring techniques and we guide them to choose their own compositions. We don't enforce our views but allow them to take on board the techniques as it suits them.

Testimonials for our Art School:
"The attention given to every pupil from the beginner to the longest at class is excellent and very encouraging. A real professional approach from Phelim, Caroline and all the teaching staff.  You just keep on improving." - John MacNeice

"Brushstrokes has a great relaxed atmosphere, excellent teachers, very helpful and professional." - Alice O’Connor
