A design course for children that takes drawing seriously
It opens with pencil and paper — lines, shapes, colouring inside the boundary, patterns — and only then moves to a screen, because a child who can already see composition makes far better use of Canva than one who cannot.
By the end the older group is working with typography, colour theory, illustration, photo editing, a simple logo and brand kit, short animations and AI as a creative assistant — and everything they make goes into a portfolio they present themselves.
Skills your child developsWhat your child will make
