Vancouver fine arts school introduces the world of art to children and adults through professional art classes and creative programs.

Hi! We are Jennifer and Polina, the founders of the Free Form Studio, art school for children and adults.

We know for sure – art changes lives. Our art school for kids 5+ offers creative art classes and art camps that build skills and confidence.

We teach painting and drawing classes for children by blending the rich traditions of European art practice with the freedom of personal creativity.

The Role of Drawing in Child Development

A picture painted by a young artist is a source of pride for any parent. However, for a child’s development, the true value of painting lies not in the result, but in the creative process itself.

1. Fine Arts Develop the Child’s Thinking, Not Just Talent
Studying fine arts trains observation, concentration, and analytical thinking. When a child learns to draw, they learn to compare, measure, notice relationships, and make decisions.
2. Art Builds Emotional Balance and Confidence
The process of drawing helps children express emotions safely and naturally. Fine arts classes create a space where a child can slow down, focus, and experience accomplishment through effort.
3. Fine Arts Form Discipline, Patience, and Respect for Work
Learning to draw requires regular practice, attention to detail, and perseverance. Children develop patience, fine motor control, and the ability to complete tasks thoughtfully.
