Art can be a platform for kids to be expressive by channelling their imagination to create something entirely out of nothing. Thus it is ideal for parents to start exposing their kids to art from a very early age since this will benefit them in the long run.Since the school holidays are just around the corner, SchoolAdvisor.my has decided to feature 4 best art classes in the Klang Valley area, specially designed to provide an outlet for the little imaginative minds.

1. Art Jamming @ The Studio KL

The Studio at KL, situated in Solaris Dutamas, is reputed for its method of providing  canvases and easels for kids so they can take pride in working like professionals. Kids are encouraged to be creative and no one would be admonished for coloring outside the line. The Studio at KL provides a very good vibe for kids to express themselves in myriad art styles.Apart from that, the projects also come with a lesson on art theory such as the history behind aboriginal art which can also double as a source of information for the kids. The classes are divided into two age groups, the Budding Artist which is for children aged 6-7 and the Young Artist for those aged 8-14.First timers are also entitled to a free lesson so head on to The Studio at KL to unleash your kid's imagination!For more information, click here to visit their website.

2. Kids Ceramic Classes @ Clay Expression

Situated in Subang Jaya, Clay Expression motivates kids to learn and explore clay as a unique art medium to help them refine their motor skills and to also be in touch with their imagination. A lot of people think that clay has a calming effect so kids are able to keep themselves occupied by playing with clay for hours at a time.At Clay Expression, one of the first things kids learn is to use templates to cut different shapes out of clay. Playing with clay also teaches kids to be patient because of how easily the clay is manipulated so that will make them more careful and increase their concentration when doing their projects.The classes take place on every fourth Saturday of the month at 11am and are available to kids as young as 2 years old.For more information, click here to visit their website.

4. Kid's Metalsmithing Class @ Nizam Sculpture Studio

Nizam Sculpture Studio is not just a sculpting class, it can also be a platform for your children to embrace and express their inner metalsmith. Situated in Shah Alam, Nizam Sculpture Studio was found by Nizam Abdullah who is a renowned steel sculpture artist in Malaysia. Kids who join his class will learn about different kinds of metals and also their pliability while being taught to make their own steel sculpture.The classes involved are more theoretical than practical so all hazardouse steps will be completed by Nizam and his assistants while the kids observe. Safety is an important feature at the studio as participants are advised to wear jeans and covered shoes so parents will have one less thing to worry about.The metalsmithing classes are recommended for children aged 7 to 14 and can also be reserved for parties of 5 to 10 kids.For more information, click here to visit their website.
