The Artrageous After-School Art Club program is a one-of-a-kind art education experience, located in Dubai, that partners with local schools to provide after-school art education to primary and secondary school students.
Our art classes are more than just quick-entertainment craft projects, but a program that provides a solid foundation for building skills and developing talent in fine art drawing and painting.
after-school art club
Our art club consists of courses that run in parallel with the school terms each school year. Each term generally runs for 12 weeks starting in September, January, and April. While other kids' art programs and art studios often tend to steer towards meaningless craft activities, trendy art projects, and "quick fun entertainment" that surpass any form of skill-building, our program focuses on learning the fundamentals of fine art drawing, painting, and occasionally mixed media, techniques.
Through fun and engaging lessons, skill-building exercises and challenging art projects, our classes aim to increase the conscious awareness and knowledge of the basic elements of art and the core principles of art, as well as learning how to properly use art materials. We also incorporate art history and cultural education into many of our lessons, learning about different artists, styles, and cultural artistic traditions.
We believe that these elements and principles provide the foundation that is necessary for improving artistic skills, creating elevated artwork and developing a critical eye.
our program
The Elements of Art focuses on the seven fundamental components of visual art: line, shape, form, space, color, value, and texture. These elements provide a foundation for creating art, improving artistic skills, and understanding how to analyze artworks. Students learn about the purpose of each element as a building block for creating impactful, elevated work and for developing a critical eye.
elements of art
The Principles of Art teaches young artists how to organize the elements of art (like line, color, shape) to create composition and convey meaning through the core principles of visual art: balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, unity, variety and proportion. These principles provide a foundation for students to develop more effective compositions and create elevated artworks.
principles of art
Students will learn art techniques, historical context, and art appreciation through projects inspired by famous artists. They will develop practical skills by experimenting with different mediums, and conceptual skills by understanding the artist's style, philosophy, and the historical period in which they worked.
famous artist inspired art
The foundations upon which we build our classes, lessons, and art projects.
Through art history-inspired projects, students learn to combine historical knowledge with creative expression, developing skills like critical thinking, understanding cultural contexts, and connecting historical artistic styles to their own work.
art history
Students will learn to appreciate and understand different cultures through art, fostering empathy and a sense of global community. They will also develop artistic skills by exploring new materials, techniques, and perspectives from various cultures and time periods. This process encourages creativity while providing insights into diverse traditions, histories, and worldviews.
cultural art traditions
For students who are ready for advanced techniques, we build on foundational knowledge to increase technical skills in drawing and painting. They move beyond structured assignments to tackle larger, more complex projects that will challenge them and help them to explore styles and develop a personal artistic voice.

Because of the cost and availability of materials, we do not offer free trial classes. However, for a very small fee, 30 AED, you can purchase a trial class for your child here.
01. Do you offer a free trial class?
Yes. We adapt our lessons and art projects for children with special needs, different age groups, and even for especially talented children, adjusting the complexity and expectations for them. As we get to know our students each term, and their capabilities, we look to make adjustments to our curriculum where necessary to provide a balance with fun, yet challenging projects.
02. Do you differentiate your lessons for special needs or unique children?
frequently asked questions
For our in-person classes hosted at your school, all materials will be provided. However, you need to send an apron or shirt with your child to protect their clothes. An old long-sleeved button-up shirt from dad worn backwards make the best painting aprons. See example here.
For the online classes, you will need basic art supplies on hand (paper, pencils, paint, brushes, etc.) and will be sent a list of things that can be easily purchased on Amazon. Estimated cost of materials is approximately 100-150 AED.
For the digital art class, you must have an iPad, Apple Pencil, and purchase the Procreate app (a one-time fee of 50 AED).
03. Do we need to buy materials?
In general, fees are non-refundable. This is due to the advance purchase of materials and then having an open space in class that could have been given to another child. We have a limited number of spaces available each term. However, in certain cases, such as a broken dominant arm, we can offer a credit for use in future terms, on a case-by-case scenario. Credits will be prorated against the number of classes already attended. For courses that are cancelled for the whole term due to low enrollment, full refunds will be provided.
04. are the fees refundable?
Yes! We can offer 10% off, if you are registering two or more students. Just let us know and we can email you a discount code for 10% off to apply upon checkout.
05. Do you offer a sibling discount?
REgister and pay your term fees online quickly and effeciently.
We're all about making your lives, and ours, easier and more efficient, so we've eliminated the need for lots of back and forth emails where you're waiting for basic information. Register your child by submitting a short registration form and then pay your fees online immediately after.
