Before the Brushes Fly

The Thoughtful Planning Process

Running a kids' art class might seem like it’s all fun and games, but there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye! At Imperfect Painter, we put a huge amount of thought, effort, and creativity into planning workshops that are engaging, inclusive, and tailored to young artists of all abilities.

Here’s a sneak peek into how we prepare to make each class a memorable and enriching experience for your child.

Children are naturally curious and creative, but they also have short attention spans. This means our classes are packed with fun, hands-on activities that keep them engaged. We structure our lessons with short, achievable projects, so there’s always something new to capture their interest.

We also include breaks for quiet time or free play to ensure they can recharge when needed. Whether it's creating whimsical drawings or experimenting with colour, our activities are designed to balance learning, creativity, and fun!

These classes are all about helping kids build confidence, make friends, and explore their creativity in a safe, encouraging space.

Catering to Diverse Needs

We’re proud to offer an inclusive space where children on the spectrum or with sensory needs can thrive. Some children might use stimming to self-soothe, while others prefer quiet moments to refocus. We incorporate sensory-friendly materials, and varied seating options into our setup to ensure every child feels comfortable and included.

Our instructors are mindful of each child’s needs and are trained and experienced with neurodiverse children.  We take the time to create a supportive environment where everyone can express themselves through art.

Why It Matters

Art isn’t just about creating—it’s a powerful way for kids to explore their emotions, develop motor skills, and build confidence. By preparing classes that are as unique as the children attending, we ensure every participant feels seen, supported, and inspired.

We can’t wait to welcome your child to one of our workshops. Whether they’re seasoned young artists or picking up a paintbrush for the first time, there’s a place for them at Imperfect Painter.
