Art Wonderland Class Curriculum: Advanced
Our Advanced classes are designed to prepare your child to be a confident and independent artist. Our curriculum pushes the boundaries of art making, encouraging students to think creatively and critically in their artworks. We seek to strengthen your child’s foundation in art techniques and skills, building their artistic portfolio that showcases their individual creative thoughts and artistic flair.
Our Advanced classes encourage the use of both traditional and contemporary art mediums such as acrylic paints, watercolour paint, clay, pastels, charcoal, wires, balsa wood and more. Students will be taught how to research, conceptualise and develop their artistic ideas into reality.

What happens during our Advanced art class?
DSA Portfolio Building for SOTA Admission
Introduction &
Exploration
Each Advanced lesson lasts for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The lesson structure for Advanced art classes for children aged 10 years to 12 years begins with themes and an active inquiry-based discussion that sparks a child’s curiosity and encourages peer learning.
Our focus for students in Advanced class is to develop their technical and creative skills, encouraging them to be independent in their research and final artwork. This involves providing students a laptop / iPad to begin their own topic research.
Creative thinking &
Experimentation
The students then spend time on the material exploration process, developing their mastery over materials such as pencil, pen, watercolour, acrylic, charcoal, clay, mixed media and more.
Students will have opportunities to have real world observations through mini excursions outside the studio. It is important to draw and create from real life references, e.g. observation of buildings for urban sketching.
We strive to develop your child’s creative and technical abilities, resulting in a balanced artist with a strong foundation. We believe in moulding children to draw independently without guidance.
Techniques &
Creative Expression
After which, kids begin on their final artwork for the lesson, honing both creative and technical skills.
Here, we also bring out art concepts using Principles of Design and the Elements of Art: noticing shapes, colours, textures, lines, form, value, space and more. Each lesson will focus on various art techniques to showcase a wider skill set for DSA portfolio.
Students in Advanced class will showcase mastery over materials and be confident in using these techniques in their own creative process!
