Line, shape & control
Pencil control and seeing the simple shapes inside complicated things.
- Line weight and steady strokes
- Breaking objects into basic shapes
- Drawing from observation, not memory
Children explore drawing, colours and painting step by step. Kids start with simple lines and shapes, then move on to objects, nature, characters and creative painting — all through friendly, guided practice.
The mentor shows a step. The child copies that step. Then the child tries it alone. Then the child adds their own idea.
That simple loop repeats every session. A child drawing alone can get stuck and give up; a mentor can point out one small fix — a line too long, a shape too small — and the picture improves right away.
Small corrections, repeated often, build real skill.
Brolly Juniors runs drawing and painting classes for kids in Hyderabad for ages 5 to 15. Children learn to observe and construct — line, proportion, light and shade, colour mixing and composition — across four levels, working in pencil, watercolour and acrylic. Materials are provided and each term ends with a portfolio review.
Six things that decide whether a child keeps drawing after the first term.
Art activities children actually enjoy, not an adult syllabus.
Lines and shapes through to full scenes.
Colour understanding and brush work.
Tasks matched to the level a child is actually at.
Watched and corrected, so mistakes do not become habits.
Clear, simple updates on what to encourage at home.
Drawing classes teach children to make pictures using lines and shapes. Painting classes teach them to add colour to those pictures using brushes and paint.
In a drawing class, a child learns to hold a pencil, draw straight and curved lines, and join them into shapes. Those shapes slowly turn into real things — a fruit, a tree, a bird, a face. Children start easy and build up, and nothing is rushed.
In a painting class, a child learns about colours: which are primary, how to mix two to make a new one, and how to hold and move a brush. Then they use those colours to fill and finish a picture.
For most children, art does not feel like study. They are drawing a cat or painting a rainbow — but while doing it they are also practising focus, observation and patience, without any pressure.
Simple explanationA mentor demonstrates a step, the child practises it, then the child makes their own version. Outline first, colour second.
Easy exampleA circle becomes a head. Add eyes, a nose and a mouth, and it becomes a character. Built up one step at a time, any child can draw it.
At Brolly Juniors“My child cannot draw” is one of the most common things we hear. It is also the reason the class exists — the early levels are designed for exactly that starting point.
Art gives children a way to show what they think and feel, even before they can explain it in words.
A child who cannot yet describe an idea can often draw it.
There is no single right answer in art, so children try their own version.
To draw a leaf, a child has to look at a leaf properly.
A picture takes time. Children learn to keep going and finish.
Holding a pencil and steering a brush is careful hand work.
Children invent characters, places and stories on paper.
Mixing and choosing colours is hands-on learning.
Seeing their own work improve feels good to a child.
These are learning benefits observed in regular art practice. We make no medical, therapeutic or psychological claims, and do not guarantee any specific result for any child.
Ten simple gains children pick up along the way.
Children make their own choices instead of copying one fixed answer.
Kids invent characters, scenes and worlds that do not exist yet.
Drawing something forces a child to notice its real shape and detail.
Careful pencil and brush work trains small hand movements.
Which colours work together, and how to mix new ones.
Finishing one picture means staying with one task start to end.
Good artwork cannot be rushed, so children learn to slow down.
Art gives kids a safe way to show feelings and ideas.
Finished artwork is proof to a child that they can do it.
“How do I fix this?” is a question children answer for themselves.
Technique is taught deliberately. Free drawing is encouraged too, but a child who is only ever told "lovely" never learns why one drawing worked better than the last.
Pencil control and seeing the simple shapes inside complicated things.
Where the light is coming from, and how that turns a circle into a sphere.
Mixing rather than using paint straight from the tube, in watercolour and acrylic.
Choosing what to leave out. Children plan and complete pieces of their own.
A suggested learning structure that moves from simple lines to detailed creative work, not a fixed syllabus.
The starting point for every new child, whatever their age. The aim is control and confidence with a pencil.
Children start drawing things they already know and can look at closely.
Now children put several objects together and start telling a story on paper.
For children who are already comfortable drawing and want their work to look more finished.
The exact curriculum may vary by age and learning level. Ask us for the current programme structure.
A rough guide to what children usually work on at each stage.
Ages 4–6
Ages 7–9
Ages 10–12
Ages 13+
Readiness matters more than age. A ten-year-old new to drawing will still begin with lines and shapes — and will usually move through them quickly.
Painting is taught alongside drawing. Children first understand colour, then learn to control a brush, then paint complete pictures.
Painting materials can differ by activity and age group. Ask us for the current materials list before you buy anything, so you do not end up with items your child will not use.

Simple figures and faces, drawn from the child’s own life.
Hills, a river or a sunrise, with a focus on composition.
Planets, rockets and stars — an imagination-led project.
A character the child invents completely themselves.
Lights, colours and people, drawn from something familiar.
Illustrative themes, not a guaranteed project list. Ask us for the current activity plan.
Most children who join have no previous art training. The first sessions are about getting comfortable with a pencil and enjoying the process — lines, shapes, patterns and simple objects.
Beginners start with colour before pictures: what happens when two colours meet, how much paint to take on the brush, and how to fill a shape without going over the line.
No child is expected to already draw well. Each skill builds on the one before it — a child cannot shade well until the outline is steady, and the outline is only steady once lines and shapes feel easy.
Every session follows a simple, predictable shape so children always know what comes next.
A few quick lines and shapes to get the hand moving.

What shapes the art sessions specifically.
Sessions are built around what a child can manage now, not an adult art syllabus.
Children are given room to make their own choices instead of only copying a fixed picture.
Every practice session is watched and corrected, so mistakes do not become habits.
Activities matched to age band and current skill, and adjusted as the child grows.
Instructions in plain language a child can follow without an adult translating.
Ask what your child is working on and what to encourage at home.
We do not publish student counts, ratings, awards or rankings on this page. For anything not listed, ask us.
We share these directly, so what you get is current and specific to your child rather than a number that may not apply.

Changes through the year
Nothing before the trial
The easiest way to know whether a class suits your child is to let them try one. A free trial lets your child sit in, draw something, and tell you afterwards whether they enjoyed it — before you commit to anything.
