Art & Creative Design Classes for Kids in Muscat

Art and design classes for kids in Muscat

Creative design is one of the four CURIOOkids tracks, combining art fundamentals with the latest design and digital technology and creative thinking. Children learn the core art skills of colour theory, space and form, value and tone, and line and shape, then 2D design (drawing, painting, textile design and photography), digital arts (video production and animation) and 3D modelling. Classes run in small groups (6 students on average).

This course is taught as part of the CURIOOkids Future Skills programme together with the other three tracks, over four terms a year with two sessions a week, at times that suit children's and parents' schedules.

The four Future Skills tracks

The CURIOOkids Oman Future Skills programme is built on four tracks that children learn together: English, technology, coding and robotics, entrepreneurship and art and creative design. Each track strengthens the others: a child designs an idea, codes it, presents it in English and thinks about it as a project.
