Policies and General Guidelines
Pattern of the class
We start with sketching with pencil on paper. The students practice some basic shapes and strokes in 2-3 classes after which a project begins which will be drawn and colored in free hand. The project includes the shapes and strokes that would have been practiced in the first few classes. Once the project is complete, they are given slightly more advanced shapes for next 2-3 classes and a more complicated project thereafter. This is a continuous process and leads on to complex composition of concept based topics.
Duration of the class
Typical duration of a class is 60 minutes, however the class generally overshoots by 10-15 minutes. So please know that all the additional time per term goes to the students free of cost as quality and creativity are our prime virtues. Please plan for other activities after classes accordingly or let us know in advance if a student needs to leave sooner.
Locations
Currently we are only doing hybrid weekly sessions with online classes as well as in-person sessions at Bothell and Redmond locations. There is no restriction of the location for virtual participants.

only if there is an availability in a different batch
Makeup class once scheduled CANNOT be rescheduled under any circumstance
