OUR APPROACH TO ART

At Enso Studio, we believe that art is for everyone—whether it's about unleashing creativity, exploring new techniques, or simply having fun. Every artist brings their unique perspective and style to the canvas, and we are here to nurture that individuality and cultivate a lifelong love for art. We don’t follow a leveling system because we believe art isn’t about comparison; it’s about expression!

Interested students can choose from thoughtfully crafted classes based on interests:
  • Kids:
    • For the Dreamers (ages 5+): Picasso's Playroom encourages play, imaginative expression and creative exploration.
    • For the Explorers (ages 6+): Escher's Elements delves into artistic tools and techniques for budding artists.
    • For the Skillful Creators (ages 10+): Da Vinci Dreambook combines creativity and mastery for a rewarding, detailed art experience.
  • Adults:
    • Artful Escape is a private/semi-private in-person/virtual class that offers a calming, creative journey where adults can unwind and explore art at their own pace, whether they are experienced artists or beginners. This class focuses on relaxation, self-expression, and the joy of creative exploration in a nurturing environment.
  • Families and Nature Lovers:
    • Nature Walk+Art is a mindful and creative experience offered once a month that combines outdoor exploration with art-making. Participants join for a nature walk or easy hike, gather inspiration, and then sit for an art session in a peaceful outdoor setting. It's a perfect way for families to bond, and for individuals to connect with nature through art.

​Parents, we kindly request you to speak with your child about their interests and preferences. Our goal is to make art approachable, fun, and meaningful—for the students and for us as teachers. Below is a conversation guide you may choose to use.

QUESTIONS & CONVERSATION GUIDE


1. What kind of art do you like to create?
"Do you like drawing imagined things, like animals, people, or cartoons?" or
"Do you like to learn to draw things that look real, like trees, faces, or your favorite toys?"

If your child loves making fun, abstract and imaginative art with no boundaries, Picasso's Playroom might be the best fit. If they enjoy drawing or painting things that look more realistic, Escher's Elements or Da Vinci Dreambook might appeal to them.

2. How do you feel about learning new art skills and techniques?
"Do you like to explore, experiment and try different ways to make art?" or
"Would you like to get better at drawing or painting, like learning to sketch faces or paint trees in more detail?"
​
If they enjoy experimenting and playing with new materials, Picasso's Playroom is a good option. If they’re interested in building skills and learning new techniques, Escher's Elements and Da Vinci Dreambook are great choices for developing artistic mastery.

Below are some student artworks from previous sessions to help guide your choices.
