Children's program (ages 7–18)

In Oksana Art Academy, we believe every child has a unique artistic voice waiting to be discovered. Our children’s program sparks creativity while teaching solid foundations in drawing, painting, composition, and color theory.

Youth Art Program in Calgary

Our youth program (ages 7–18) established in Calgary, combines fun exploration with academic discipline. Students learn through our carefully designed methodology specifically for children and teens.

Whether your child is picking up a pencil for the first time or already has experience in drawing and painting, we adapt our approach to their age, abilities, and interests. We help each student find subjects and techniques they enjoy while gradually introducing new challenges that encourage them to grow.

Through a combination of fun themed projects, practical exercises, and individual guidance, students learn to express their ideas, explore different art materials, and build confidence in their abilities. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where young artists feel comfortable experimenting, making mistakes, asking questions, and discovering what they're capable of.

What are you going to discover

We offer a wide range of art classes that encourage children to explore their creativity, discover their own artistic style, and experiment with different materials and techniques. We want children to feel curious, try new things, and enjoy the process of creating something unique. Whether they're just starting out or already have some experience, there's always something new to learn!

We begin by introducing the fundamentals of watercolour, acrylic painting, and soft pastels. These are ice breakers for young artists, allowing them to experiment with colours, shapes, and textures while building their confidence in arts. Students get to create a variety of exciting subjects, from beautiful landscapes and exotic animals to mythical creatures and many more! Along the way, they learn about composition, colour mixing, shading, and how to bring their ideas onto paper or canvas.

As children become more comfortable with the basics, we introduce more advanced drawing materials, including sanguine, sepia, and charcoal. These materials are especially useful for studying light, shadow, contrast, and form. Students learn how to create depth, capture details, and bring more expression into their portraits, landscapes, and other drawings. New techniques give them an opportunity to challenge themselves, develop their artistic skills, and discover what they enjoy creating most.

Apart from that, we also introduce new creative themes, projects, and master classes every single month! We want our students to try as many things as possible in order to find what they are passionate about. Below, you can check our gallery from recent school years where we proudly display final works from our master classes and themed projects of our incredibly talented students!
