Outdoor Urban Landscape Sketching Course

During our travels, when faced with the beauty of nature, we often experience an impulse to capture the breathtaking scenery before our eyes – if only we could depict this  sight! With joining us at Singapore Visual Arts Centre Singapore for the Professional Urban Landscape Sketching Course, our experienced art instructors will guide you to do urban landscape sketching while exploring, capturing the magnificence of nature and documenting the essence of your journey!

Our Professional Urban Landscape Sketching Course will involve materials such as sketchbooks, pencils, pens, coloured markers, and watercolours to learn the techniques of sketching. Within this Professional Urban Landscape Sketching Course, students will venture into nature, studying the methods of depicting landscape elements such as mountains, trees, flowers, houses and architecture sketching. We will explore drawing figures, and learn the skills of sketching on-site, selecting subjects, and capturing the movement of people.

What is Urban Sketching

Urban sketching is a fun and expressive art activity that invites young artists to observe, draw, and capture the world around them right where they stand. As an on-the-spot drawing practice, it allows young artists to create quick, lively lines, capture everyday scenes, and tell stories through simple, honest sketches of buildings, streets, and people in motion.

Sketching on the go, our young artists find inspiration anywhere even sitting right on the ground!

Why Should Your Children/Kids Learn Urban Sketching?

  • Through urban sketching, your child will develop fine-motor skills through learning how to draw lines with fineliners (markers) and paint washes of colour with watercolour brushes
  • Learning to observe and sketch real-life scenes is a key foundational skill for all artists! It is important for your child to learn urban sketching to grow their art skills
  • Your children/kids will learn how to be more confident in drawing through urban sketching real places and everyday scenes around them

Learning subject we will engage in within this Children/Kids Urban Sketching:

  • Natural scenery
  • Coffee shops
  • Busy streets/ pavements
  • Passerbys and figures

Mastering the art of urban landscape sketching, known as “sketching on the move,” is a highly practical and fun drawing method. Especially for those who enjoy art, taking inspiration from the outdoors can stimulate one’s creativity, providing a wealth of subject matter for future works of art. The process itself is a unique experience – not only do you practice the technical skill of drawing, but also gain a newfound appreciation for the scenery around you.

Academy Drawing Traditions
The academy drawing and sketching tradition, rooted in centuries of artistic practice, emphasizes disciplined study of form, proportion, and technique. Originating from Renaissance workshops and formalized by institutions like the Royal Academy, it prioritizes meticulous observation and mastery of fundamental skills. Students progress from basic exercises to complex compositions, learning to depict still life and common objects with precision and expression. This tradition values both classical principles and innovation, encouraging artists to push boundaries while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Through rigorous training and critique, artists within this tradition cultivate a strong foundation for creative exploration and artistic excellence.
Chinese Ink Painting and Calligraphy
This course on Chinese ink painting and calligraphy introduces young learners to the rich traditions of Chinese art. Through hands-on activities, students explore the basics of brush techniques, ink control, and the delicate art of Chinese script. They learn to appreciate the cultural significance of calligraphy and painting, developing skills in creating elegant strokes and expressive brushwork. The course fosters creativity, patience, and fine motor skills, while also providing insights into Chinese history and aesthetics. By the end, children gain confidence in their artistic abilities and a deeper understanding of Chinese cultural heritage.
Funk with Graffiti
