Trial Session

Shhh... don’t make a peep, or you’ll move. Wow, it’s an entirely different world under the microscope! What secrets hide beyond what the eye can see? Beneath the surface of leaves, drops of water, and even our own skin lies a hidden world of intricate patterns and fascinating structures. In this module, students will dive into the microcosms, uncovering the beauty of cells, tissues, and microorganisms. Each session begins with the thrill of discovery as students observe pre-made samples under the microscope. From the geometric precision of plant cells to the flowing forms of tiny organisms, students will learn to sketch what they see with accuracy and creativity. Through hands-on practice, they’ll develop skills in shading, texture, and proportion, turning scientific observation into artistic expression.

Designed for students aged 8 to 14, this module reveals how intuitive young learners can be and how inquisitive our older students are. More than just a sketching class, this module inspires curiosity and interdisciplinary thinking. By blending art and biology, students will explore how structure relates to function, how patterns in nature emerge, and how the smallest details can spark the biggest ideas. Students will need to bring their own sketchbook and sketching pencil set, which can be purchased from the studio.

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.

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.

If you are joining the workshop in person, just bring your lovely self! Please bring your own art pack for Clever Canvas™, Sketchbook Challenge™ and Super Matisse™ lessons. 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.

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.
