The painting classes at MOA Art Kids provide a structured yet fun and creative environment for young artists to develop their painting skills using watercolor and acrylics. Students begin with essential techniques like color mixing, brushwork, light and shadow, and basic perspective, applying them to engaging projects featuring people, animals, landscapes, and more.

The course covers core drawing principles such as shape and form, light and shadow, perspective, and composition, with weekly hands-on exercises that reinforce each topic.
As students progress, they explore more advanced techniques including realistic rendering, fine detail work, and complex perspective (2- and 3-point). Lessons also include shadow construction and dynamic layouts. By the end of the course, students will have strengthened their observational and technical skills and developed polished drawings suitable for portfolio use and future creative study.

For more experienced students, the course expands into advanced techniques used in animation and game design. Participants will explore layout and composition, lighting and rendering, masking, adjustment layers, and special effects—learning to manage files and layers to industry standards. Each project builds toward a polished portfolio of professional-quality digital artwork. By the end of the course, students will have a portfolio-ready collection of stunning digital artwork.
