“Look, my shadow is moving! It’s getting bigger… and smaller! But why? And what made it change?” Come join us as we explore how light moves, reflects, and transforms. What might be the secrets behind rainbows, shadows, and all those glowing bits and bobs we see in the world around us?

Specifically designed for curious minds aged 3.5 to 5, and perfectly complementing the creative explorations of Chasing the Light in Art 101™, this module introduces young learners to the wonders of light through playful, hands-on discoveries. With a focus on questions, experiments, and joyful moments of “aha!”, your child will uncover the science behind light and shadows while building confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

This course is designed for young, independent explorers, though we warmly welcome parents to participate in the journey. All supplies are included, so your child will have everything they need to dive into this illuminating adventure.

Want to instil a lifelong love of exploration and discovery? Start with Illuminating Discoveries in Light and Shadows, where science, curiosity, and creativity meet!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ 1 What happens if I miss a class?
If you feel sick, please stay home and apply a catch-up lesson at a later time. Or, if you feel well enough, please join your session online via our app or this website. Regrettably, we can only provide catch-up lessons within your enrolled term based on availability. Any unused credit cannot be carried over to the following term.
FAQ 2 What's your refund policy in a nutshell?
For the fairness of the other students, for our clever tutors who provide the lessons that you love, the studio cannot offer a refund if you change your mind. Our in-studio workshops are strictly made up of the limited number of students enrolled before the start of each school term and have the appropriate resources allocated to accommodate the optimal learning experience for all students in the course. To ensure the staff and supplies can be maintained for the course, payment for their use cannot be refunded so that the remaining students may continue the learning and development they paid for. In the event of Covid-19 restrictions, workshops will resume online. No refund can be issued if you decide not to participate in online sessions.
FAQ 3 What do I need to bring to class?
If you are joining the workshop in person, just bring your lovely self! If you are a private lesson student, feel free to bring your own device, please allow half to one lesson period for your tutor to have your device set up to the studio standard. If you are joining online, great! Ensure your device is fully charged, and check with your tutor beforehand about what supplies you may need to prepare.
FAQ 4 Which class should I join?
Choosing a class that suits your age group would be a great way to start. Your tutor will advise you if moving up or down a level may be more beneficial for your child. Check out the 'Find My Workshop' page for more details.
